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
introductionHelicobacter pylori (Hp)-related atrophic gastritis (AG) affects corpus and antral mucosa, resulting in multifocal AG (MF-AG); autoimmunity-driven AG is corpus-restricted (CR-AG). AG carries increased gastric dysplasia (GD) and gastric cancer (GC) risk, well established in MF-AG, but debated in CR-AG. This study aimed to assess clinical, endoscopic-histological characteristics of GD-GC in patients with MF-AG and CR-AG.
methodsThis was the multicenter cross-sectional study across 11 Italian gastroenterology centers on data of non-cardia GD-GC in adult patients with MF-AG or CR-AG based on clinical, endoscopic, and histological charts.
resultsEighty-four patients were included with MF-AG and CR-AG in 45 (53.6%) and 39 (46.4%), respectively. Low-grade GD, high-grade GD, and GC were diagnosed in 31 (36.9%), 6 (7.1%), and 47 (56.0%), respectively. GD-GC similarly occurred in patients with MF-AG and CR-AG: high-grade GD in 4 (8.9%) vs 2 (5.1%), low-grade GD in 17 (37.8%) vs 14 (35.9%), and GC in 24 (53.5%) vs 23 (59.0%) ( P > 0.05). Compared with MF-AG, in patients with CR-AG, GD-GC were more commonly polypoid (51.6% vs 27.3%, P = 0.048) and more frequent in the corpus (55.3% vs 28.6%, P = 0.02), but occurred also in the antrum (34.2%) and incisura (10.5%). Surgery was more frequent in CR-AG than in MF-AG (48.6% vs 23.1%, P = 0.02). Corpus atrophy severity and intestinal metaplasia were not different ( P > 0.05), histological Hp positivity was low in both (2.3% vs 2.9%, P = 0.87), but in Hp negatives, active inflammation was present in the antrum in 26.7% and 7.7% ( P = 0.02), and in the corpus in 31.1% and 21.5% ( P = 0.27). DISCUSSION: Non-cardia GC and GD may occur in both MF-AG and CR-AG, displaying differences in topography and endoscopic presentation but similarities in nonlesional mucosa, differentiation, and staging. Surveillance should be considered in corpus AG, regardless of extension and supposed etiology.
backgroundLa gastrite atrofica (AG) Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-relata interessa la mucosa dell'antro e del corpo-fondo dando luogo alla gastrite atrofica multifocale (MF-AG); la gastrite atrofica autoimmune invece è limitata al corpo-fondo risparmiando l'antro (CR-AG). L'AG è ad aumentato rischio per displasia (GD) e cancro gastrico (GC). Questo rischio è ben stabilito nella MF-AG, ma ancor adibattuto nella CR-AG. Questo studio ha come scopo di valutare le caratteristiche cliniche e endoscopico-istologiche di pazienti affetti da GD o GC in MF-AG e CR-AG. METODI: E' stato condotto uno studio trasversale multicentrico in 11 centri gastroenterologici italiani su dati di pazienti adulti con GD o GC non cardiali in MF-AG o CR-AG basati su schede cliniche e referti endoscopici e istologici. RISULTATI: Sono stati inclusi 84 pazienti, di cui 45 (53.6%) con MF-AG e 39 (46.4%) con CR-AG. GD di basso (LG-GD) e di alto grado (HG-GD) e GC sono stati diagnosticati in 31 (36.9%), 6 (7.1%), and 47 (56.0%) pazienti, rispettivamente. GD e GC sono stati riscontrati con frequenza simile in pazienti con MF-AG e CR-AG: HG-GD in 4 (8.9%) vs 2 (5.1%), LG-GD in 17 (37.8%) vs 14 (35.9%), e GC in 24 (53.5%) vs 23 (59.0%) (p>0.05). Rispetto ai pazienti con MF-AG, nei pazienti con CR-AG GD e GC erano più frequentemente di aspetto polipoide (51.6% vs 27.3%, p=0.048) e più frequentemente localizzati nel corpo-fondo (55.3% vs 28.6%, p=0.02), ma venivano riscontrati anche nell'antro (34.2%) e a livello dell'incisura (10.5%). Il trattamento chirurgico era più frequente nei pazienti con CR-AG rispetto a coloro con MF-AG (48.6% vs 23.1%, p=0.02). La severità dell'atrofia del corpo-fondo e la presenza di metaplasia intestinale non erano differenti (p>0.05), mentre la positività istologica per l'Hp era bassa in ambedue i gruppi ((2.3% vs 2.9%, p=0.87), ma nei Hp negativi l'attività infiammatoria era presente nell'antro nel 26.7% e 7.7% (p=0.02), e nel corpo-fondo nel 31.1% e 21.5% (p=0.027). CONCLUSIONI: GD e i GC non cardiali possono sviluppare sia in pazienti con MF-AG che con CR-AG, con differenze nella topografia e nella presentazione endoscopica ma con similitudini nella mucosa non lesionale circostante, nella differenziazione e nella stadiazione. Pertanto, la sorveglianza dovrebbe essere considerata in tutti i pazienti con AG del corpo, a prescindere dall'estensione e dalla presunta eziologia.
