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

backgroundChronic atrophic gastritis, represented by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) or autoimmune gastritis (AIG), has been recognized as a risk factor for gastric carcinoma (GC). Differences in the clinicopathological features of GC with AIG (GC-AIG) based on H. pylori infection status remain unclear.

methodsThis retrospective analysis included 65 cases of GC-AIG in which endoscopic resection or gastrectomy was performed at a single center between 2008 and 2024. The cases were categorized into Group A (H. pylori-naïve GC-AIG) or Group B (H. pylori-infected GC-AIG), and the clinical and pathological data were compared between the groups.

resultsGroup A included 18 cases with 25 lesions and Group B included 47 cases with 72 lesions. The median age [interquartile range] was significantly younger in Group A (70 [63-74] years) than in Group B (75 [62-79] years, p = 0.045). Tumors in Group A were more frequently located in the upper and middle stomach, whereas those in Group B were predominantly located in the lower stomach (p = 0.006). Group A had a significantly higher proportion of pure undifferentiated-type adenocarcinoma (Laurén's diffuse type) than Group B (28.0% versus 8.3%, p = 0.027).

conclusionsH. pylori-naïve GC-AIG is characterized by younger age, a higher prevalence of pure undifferentiated-type adenocarcinoma, and tumors predominantly located in the upper and middle stomach.
