Chronic Schistosomiasis Infection Dose not Affect the Prognosis of Gastric Cancer Patients.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 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
backgroundSchistosomiasis is linked to the development of colorectal cancer and is associated with increased colorectal cancer mortality. However, there is limited research on whether schistosomiasis with egg deposition influences the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (GC).
objectiveTo investigate the effects of pathologically confirmed schistosomal egg deposition on the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of GC patients.
methods5,001 patients receiving radical GC surgery performed at Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from January 2012 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were categorized into two groups: the schistosomiasis combined with gastric cancer (S-GC) group and the conventional gastric cancer (C-GC) group, based on their medical history and postoperative pathology reports. Survival analysis for each group was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method, while Cox regression modeling was employed for univariate and multifactorial prognostic analysis.
resultsOf the 5001 GC patients included in the study, 189 cases had S-GC versus 4812 C-GC cases. S-GC group patients were older, predominantly male, and exhibited a greater prevalence of lesions located in the lower third of the stomach compared to those in the C-GC group(all P < 0.05). Multifactorial Cox regression analysis identified N stage and tumor deposits as independent risk factors influencing the prognosis of GC, whereas schistosomiasis with egg deposition did not appear to have a significant impact(HR 0.892, 95% CI 0.637-1.249, P > 0.05).
conclusionS-GC patients are more commonly elderly and male. Chronic schistosomiasis infection, as evidenced by pathologically confirmed residual calcified eggs, was not associated with the prognosis of GC patients.
