Korea, Japan, Europe, and the United States: Why are guidelines for gastric cancer different?
Review in Gastric cancer : official journal of the International Gastric Cancer Association and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
As a global health concern, gastric cancer management has been systematized by individual countries and regions into regimented guidelines. To explore international differences, we examined the guidelines of Korea, Japan, Europe, and the United States. Guidelines are created by experts in the field, focusing on evidence-based recommendations to standardize and improve patient care, but the methodology for guideline creation, incorporation of new innovations, and review differs significantly. National and regional differences within the guidelines are apparent, stemming from various factors including local incidence, stage, presentation, patient preferences, and governmental influences. Differences include the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, criteria for endoscopic resection, and extent of lymphadenectomy. Nonetheless, fundamental treatment principles remain universal, and the goals of national guidelines are uniform: standardizing patient care, providing the highest quality treatments, incorporating cutting-edge clinical trial results, and consensus in guidelines to help formulate governmental policies. This review highlights how the guidelines are constructed, the unique elements of each guideline, how they differ, and why they differ.
