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
backgroundGastric cancer is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer. Although 10% of cases show familial clustering, a monogenic hereditary cause is rarely observed. Little is known about the molecular profile of familial gastric cancer cases in Brazil. Thus, we aimed to characterize the germline genomic profile of patients with potentially hereditary gastric cancer in the Brazilian population.
methodsDNA from peripheral blood or buccal swab was obtained for whole-exome sequencing of 126 patients with gastric cancer with suspected hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome from the Mendelics laboratory.
resultsResults from our initial analyses using an exome-derived multigene panel showed that, among the 11 cases identified as having hereditary cancer predisposing syndrome, BRCA2 gene was the most frequently mutated (n = 3, 27.3%). Whole exome sequencing showed candidate genes, such as FBXO24 and CTNND1. Among the candidates, CTNND1 has emerging evidence of association with gastric cancer predisposition. Analysis of somatic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas showed that diffuse gastric tumors and signet ring cell adenocarcinomas with somatic mutations in CTNND1 exhibited high microsatellite instability and high mutation count. A rare germline variant identified in CTNND1 may expand understanding of hereditary gastric cancer predisposition.
conclusionsThis is the first study to evaluate, through germline whole exome sequencing, candidate genes for gastric cancer predisposition in a large Brazilian population. The novel candidate genes identified may be associated with gastric cancer and have potential to improve surveillance and management of individuals at increased risk of developing this tumor.
