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

introductionAccurate baseline clinical staging is critical to inform treatment decision-making for patients with gastric cancers. Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is the most common form of metastasis in gastric cancer and mainly diagnosed by diagnostic laparoscopy and peritoneal lavage evaluation. However, diagnostic laparoscopy is invasive and less cost-effective. It is urgent to develop a safe, fast and non-invasive functional imaging method to verify the peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. The aim of our study was to evaluate the proportion of patients in whom METHODS AND ANALYSIS: In this single-centre, prospective diagnostic test accuracy study, a total of 48 patients with locally advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (cT4a-b, N0-3, M0, based on CT images) who are considering radical tumour surgery will be recruited. All participants will undergo ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of West China Hospital, Sichuan University (2022-1484). Study results will be presented at public and scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2300067591.
