Five cases of gastric cancer in Helicobacter pylori-uninfected stomachs with Lynch syndrome.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Reports from Japan suggest that Helicobacter pylori infection could be a risk factor for gastric cancer in patients with Lynch syndrome (LS), similar to its role in sporadic gastric cancer. Therefore, eradication of H. pylori infection is recommended. However, the evidence regarding the risk of gastric cancer in H. pylori-uninfected patients with LS remains insufficient. Between 2014 and 2023, we encountered five cases of suspected LS-specific gastric cancer in H. pylori-uninfected patients during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) surveillance in individuals either genetically diagnosed with or suspected of having LS. This report describes the novel clinicopathological characteristics observed in these patients. A common endoscopic finding in all five cases was the presence of a characteristic elevated lesion with a reddish hue in the cardia or fornix. Histopathological examination confirmed LS-specific gastric cancer, including undifferentiated carcinoma. In cases initially presenting as subepithelial lesions, cancer diagnosis through biopsy was difficult. In tumors ≤ 15 mm, submucosal invasion is a key characteristic of H. pylori-uninfected gastric cancer with LS. This suggests the need for intensive endoscopic surveillance to detect rapid tumor growth.
