Global welfare-based economic burden of gastric cancer and projections to 2050.
Article in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Gastric cancer (GC) imposes substantial welfare losses that are rarely monetized. Using GC disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 and GDP from the World Bank, we estimated the value of lost welfare (VLW) by monetizing DALYs based on a willingness-to-pay framework. Both undiscounted and discounted values were estimated, and trends were projected to 2050. In 2021, the global VLW from GC was Int$2,470.34 billion (undiscounted) and Int$1,681.55 billion (discounted), equivalent to 1.615% and 1.099% of GDP, respectively. East Asia contributed the largest VLW, with China bearing the highest national burden. High-middle-SDI regions bore the greatest absolute burden, whereas relative burden increasingly shifted toward low-SDI regions. Welfare losses rose sharply with age and occurred earlier in men than in women. Under current trends, global VLW is projected to increase by 58.41% by 2050, highlighting growing economic and equity challenges worldwide.
