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

Endoscopic resection has been applied as an absolute indication for early gastric cancer showing intramucosal cancer ≤ 2 cm in diameter, differentiated-type adenocarcinoma without ulcerative findings. We describe the case of a 76-year-old man who underwent radical gastrectomy for alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer, in which the depth of invasion was clinically diagnosed as T1a after lymph node metastases were detected. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a type 0-IIc tumor nearly 10 mm in diameter at the antrum. Computed tomography showed a 47-mm nodule along the common hepatic artery and a 22-mm nodule in the infrapyloric area. Both were pathologically confirmed as adenocarcinoma by endoscopic ultrasound-guided aspiration. No evidence of malignancy elsewhere was seen on
