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 cancer is among the most common cancer and cause of cancer death. We conducted a meta-analysis of 25 case-control studies from the Stomach cancer Pooling Project to assess the association between fish or canned fish consumption and the risk of gastric cancer. 10,431 cases and 24,903 controls were available. We found no association between fish consumption and risk of gastric cancer (pooled odds ratios (OR) = 0.99; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.86-1.13, for at least one serving/week vs none). Geographical differences were found: in Asia an increased intake of fish was associated with a lower stomach cancer risk. In the sensitivity analyses, fish consumption was associated to a lower risk of gastric cancer in models adjusted for family history of gastric cancer (OR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.72-0.89) and Helicobacter Pylori infection (OR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.60-0.88), but not for body mass index or energy intake. Seven studies collected information on canned fish (4525 cases and 8073 controls). No association was found for canned fish (OR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.82-1.13). In conclusion, our results provide evidence that fish and canned fish intake are not associated with gastric cancer risk, although geographical differences have been highlighted, with a lower risk of gastric cancer in Asia.
