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

Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) is a rare and histologically complex malignancy. Due to its low incidence, data on gastric MANEC (G-MANEC) are limited, and its clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis remain poorly defined. In this study, we performed a retrospective analysis of 168 G-MANEC patients and identified a median age of 64.7 years at diagnosis. Cases were classified into adenocarcinoma (AC)-predominant and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC)-predominant subtypes based on histological composition, with large-cell NEC accounting for 69.9% of NEC-predominant tumors. Patterns of lymph node metastasis (LNM) included involvement of either a single component (AC or NEC) or both components. Survival analysis revealed a median overall survival (OS) of 24 months, with 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of 72.6%, 39.5%, and 29.7%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified tumor size, LNM, and histological subtype as independent prognostic factors. Compared with a cohort of 328 patients with pure gastric adenocarcinoma, G-MANEC cases exhibited distinct clinicopathological features-particularly in terms of tumor size, Ki-67 index, and LNM. Collectively, these findings underscore that G-MANEC is associated with significantly poorer overall survival than that of conventional gastric adenocarcinoma.
