About this study

Official title: Cereal or Grain Consumption and Gastric Cancer Risk: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Observational Studies

This project involved a systematic literature review of published trials of cereal or grain in relation to the risk of gastric cancer. Data was extracted from the publications on PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library.A traditional meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, and heterogeneity was conducted on the extracted data.

Read the detailed description

Investigators searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library for studies focusing on cereal or grain in relation to the risk of gastric cancer up to October 2017. Summary odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by using either random effect models or fixed effect models according to the heterogeneity of included studies. Subgroup analysis, heterogeneity, and publication bias were also performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the relationship between overall cereal consumption and gastric cancer occurance

    perform a pooled analysis of included studies with OR through STATA 12.0

    Measured: up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. the relationship between whole grain and gastric cancer occurance

    perform a subgroup analysis to summarize the related OR through STATA 12.0

    Measured: up to 2 years

  2. the relationship between refined grain and gastric cancer occurance

    perform a subgroup analysis to summarize the related OR through STATA 12.0

    Measured: up to 2 years

  3. the relationship between other grain and gastric cancer occurance

    perform a subgroup analysis to summarize the related OR through STATA 12.0

    Measured: up to 2 years

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the relationship between overall cereal consumption and gastric cancer occurance (time frame: up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03419663, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
