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
Foveolar-type gastric adenoma with raspberry-like appearance (FGA-RA) is a rare subtype of Helicobacter pylori-naïve gastric neoplasm characterized by its small, reddish, polypoid morphology. This study aimed to clarify the molecular basis of its epithelial phenotype and the superficial capillary proliferation characteristic of FGA-RA's reddish appearance by examining alterations in mucin gene expression and angiogenesis-related pathways using spatial transcriptomic profiling and immunohistochemistry. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue from a representative case of FGA-RA was analyzed using the Visium spatial transcriptomics platform (10 × Genomics). Spatial gene mapping revealed diffuse MUC5AC expression throughout the tumor epithelium, consistent with a foveolar phenotype. Notably, MUC17-typically restricted to intestinal enterocytes-was aberrantly coexpressed with MUC5AC in the superficial tumor layer, while MUC2 was absent, suggesting skewed differentiation toward absorptive enterocytes without goblet cell lineage. To validate these findings, immunohistochemical staining for MUC5AC and MUC17 was performed on six biopsy specimens from genetically validated FGA-RA cases harboring the characteristic KLF4 mutation, five of which showed overlapping superficial expression of both MUC5AC and MUC17. Spatial transcriptomic analysis also demonstrated elevated VEGFA expression in tumor and inflammatory cells, and FLT1 expression in superficial stromal endothelial cells. This expression pattern correlated with vascular markers and may contribute to the prominent capillary proliferation seen in FGA-RA. FGA-RA exhibits a distinctive mucin profile reflecting incomplete intestinal differentiation due to KLF4 dysfunction. The characteristic raspberry-like morphology may be a consequence of VEGF-driven angiogenesis induced by chronic stimulation of a superficially compromised epithelium, suggesting that this unique appearance arises from sequential epithelial and stromal alterations orchestrated by KLF4 mutation.
