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

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is a rare and aggressive cancer that accounts for 1% to 3% of gastric cancer cases, often diagnosed late with poor outcomes, and it is due to a mutation in the Cadherin 1 (CDH1) gene. We present 2 sisters, ages 62 and 70, both carrying the CDH1 mutation, which is associated with significantly increased risks of HDGC and breast cancer. Both were diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast, a known manifestation of CDH1 mutations, emphasizing the need for genetic screening in patients with strong family cancer histories. Despite their elevated HDGC risk, the sisters declined prophylactic surgery. Instead, they pursued annual endoscopic gastro-duodenoscopies with ultrasound surveillance tailored to their needs. This case highlights the importance of recognizing rare genetic mutations and integrating family history into personalized clinical management.
