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
introductionGastric cancer (GC) has distinct characteristics and management according to the region of the world, and the objective of our study was to evaluate how it is being managed in Brazil.
methodsThis is a multicenter study that involved 18 oncology referral centers. Data were collected using the REDCap platform and compiled at the end of one year.
resultsAll Brazilian regions were represented, and 635 patients were included. Most patients were from the Southeast (40.6%) and Northeast (29.6%) regions. The mean age was 62 years, with a predominance of males. Most patients (84.6%) had good performance status, with an ECOG score of 1-2. Less than 10% of patients were covered by medical insurance. A quarter of the patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, but endoscopic ultrasound and PET scans were rarely performed. The cT3 category was the most common (40.6%), lymph node involvement was described in 48.9%, and distant metastases, in 14.4% of the staging exams. The final cTNM staging was III (29.4%), II (26%), I (24.2%) and IV (20.5%). Most patients underwent surgery with curative intent (74.4%) and open access (82.8%). Preoperative chemotherapy was performed in 37.2% of cases, and the most common surgical procedures were subtotal gastrectomy (45.3%) and total gastrectomy (33.1%).
conclusionThe present study allowed us to evaluate the current panorama of surgical treatment of Gastric Cancer, representing all regions of Brazil. Stage III, distal, and diffuse tumors continue to be prevalent in Brazil, and there has been relevant use of diagnostic laparoscopy, preoperative chemotherapy, and minimally invasive surgery.
