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

backgroundGastric cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. We reported a 64-year-old male patient with paroxysmal dull pain around the periumbilical region after meals. After admission, the patient underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans of the upper and lower abdomen, which revealed marked thickening of the gastric antrum and multiple enlarged lymph nodes around the gastric antrum and in the retroperitoneum. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed possible tumor lesions at the cardia, gastric body, duodenal bulb, and descending part of the duodenum. Colonoscopy suggested possible inflammatory changes in the terminal ileum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, and sigmoid colon. Based on subsequent hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemical analyses, the patient was diagnosed with intramucosal poorly differentiated invasive adenocarcinoma. The final diagnosis was Poorly Cohesive Carcinoma (PCC) with mucosal surface implantation in the whole gastrointestinal tract.

conclusionsPCC typically corresponds to a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma characterised by a high degree of malignancy. The occurrence of tumours of the same histological type diffusely involving the entire gastrointestinal tract is exceedingly rare.
