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

BACKGROUND AND

aimTo study the corresponding strategies to control stomach cancer, a comprehensive assessment of the disease burden is required. Herein, we present long-term trends in the burden of stomach cancer in China over the past three decades, as well as its epidemiological features.

methodsWe characterized the burden of stomach cancer in China using the GBD 2021 methods and results, based on prevalence, incidence, mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) estimated using the DisMod-MR 2-1. We also used joinpoint and age-period-cohort (APC) analysis methods to interpret the epidemiological characteristics of stomach cancer, project the disease burden of stomach cancer in China over the next decade, and compare these trends with global prevalence patterns.

resultsThe age-standardized incidence (ASIR) and mortality rates (ASMR) in both sexes changed from 48.03 (40.21, 56.69) to 29.05 (22.42, 36.2) and from 46.05 (38.88, 54.43) to 21.51 (16.66, 26.61) per 100 000 people in China from 1990 to 2021. The age-standardized DALY rate in China decreased from 1181.61 (978.38, 1390.89) per 100 000 people in 1990 to 501.26 (387.29, 627.98) per 100 000 people in 2021. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) in age-standardized incidence, prevalence, and mortality rates for stomach cancer in China were -1.61 (95% CI: -1.73, -1.48), -0.50 (95% CI: -0.67, -0.32), and -2.44 (95% CI: -2.62, -2.26). The effects of age, period, and cohort on mortality rates differed.

conclusionsIn the next decade, China's ASIR and ASMR for stomach cancer will continue to decline. However, despite the decrease in incidence, the overall burden of stomach cancer in China will remain significantly higher than the global average. The burden of stomach cancer in China will be a major public health challenge, given the country's large population base and aging population.
