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

backgroundThe efficacy of operative resection of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer has been established. However, a treatment for liver metastasis from gastric cancer has not yet been established. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion for synchronous hepatic metastasis from gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study consisted of 37 patients [HAI group; 18 and non-HAI group; 19] with synchronous multiple liver metastases from gastric cancer at Gunma Prefecture Saiseikai-Maebashi Hospital. We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy of HAI.

resultsResponse rate (CR + PR) of HAI was 83%. However, HAI treatment did not affect any improvement in the survival rate.

conclusionHAI is an effective treatment for control of liver metastasis specifically. The factor effective for an improvement in the survival rate was possibly that of gastrectomy.
