1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Gastric carcinoma is the fifth most common and the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. The incidence of diffuse-type gastric cancer, of which signet ring cell carcinoma is a subtype, is rising in the world. Due to non-specific gastritis-like symptoms, difficulty in assessing true tumor characteristics owing to its horizontal spread, and non-distinguishable endoscopic appearance from other gastric pathologies, the diagnosis of this subtype is challenging. We present a case of a 67-year-old woman with progressively worsening abdominal pain who came for an endoscopic ultrasound evaluation of an incidentally noted pancreatic cyst on a previous MRI. During endoscopy, a 1-cm gastric ulcer was noted along the lesser curvature of the gastric body. Biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) with CDX-2 and keratin positivity. The patient underwent total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. Gross specimen revealed a diffuse SRCC invading the muscularis propria, along with lymphovascular and perineural invasion. In the context of our case, we discuss the morphological features of SRCC and the effectiveness of treatment options based on existing literature. Early accurate diagnosis and staging play an important role in determining treatment options as well as the clinical course of gastric SRCC.
