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

Currently, gastric cancer treatment remains an enormous challenge and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Globally, the incidence and prevalence of gastric cancer vary, with the highest rates found in East Asia, Central Europe, and Eastern Europe. Early diagnosis is critical for successful surgical removal of gastric cancer, but the disease often develops asymptomatically. Therefore, many cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, resulting in poor survival. Metastatic gastric cancer also has a poor prognosis. Therefore, it is urgent to identify reliable molecular disease markers and develop an effective medical treatment for advanced stages of the disease. This review summarizes potential prognostic or predictive markers of gastric cancer. Furthermore, the role of tryptophan metabolites from the kynurenine pathway as prognostic, predictive, and diagnostic factors of gastric cancer is discussed, as this metabolic pathway is associated with tumor immune resistance.
