Four consecutive multicenter phase II trials of adjuvant chemoradiation in patients with completely resected high-risk gastric cancer: the experience of the German AIO/ARO/CAO group.

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
purposeFeasibility and efficacy of four different adjuvant radiochemotherapy regimens in patients with completely resected gastric cancer were evaluated in consecutive cooperative phase II trials using different 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based combination chemotherapies (CTX) and 5-FU-enhanced radiotherapy.
methodsBetween 2000 and 2005, 157 patients with completely resected gastric adenocarcinoma were included. The study design was based on two cycles of CTX and irradiation with 45 Gy plus concomitant 5-FU 225 mg/m(2) per 24 h between these two cycles. CTX cycles consisted of 5-FU, folinic acid (FA), cisplatin plus paclitaxel (FLPP); 5-FU, FA and cisplatin (FLP); 5-FU, FA and irinotecan (FLI); or 5-FU, cisplatin plus docetaxel (FPD).
resultsMedian follow-up for all four trials was 18 months (range, 1-64) without significant difference between the four regimens: FLPP 30 months (2-46+), FLP 18 months (1-64+), FLI 15 months (1-26), FPD 10 months (5-19+). Treatment associated toxicity was tolerable and did not differ significantly between the four CTX regimens. Across all patients grade (3/4), toxicities during the first cycle/chemoradiation/second cycle consisted of leukocytopenia 4%/2%/30%, anorexia 5%/10%/6%, diarrhea 6%/1%/3%, nausea 2%/7%/2%. Early death occurred in one patient due to Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Median progression free survival was 23 months for FLPP, 18 months for FLP, 14 months for FLI, 9 months for FPD (not significant). One-year-overall survival rates were 95% for FLPP, 82% for FLP, 94% for FLI, 86% for FPD.
conclusionAdjuvant radiochemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer can be safely given continuous infusion of 5-FU at 225 mg/m(2) per day. In addition, a variety of 5-FU-based multiagent chemotherapy regimen with defined activity in gastric cancer appears both safe and effective when given prior and after radiochemotherapy in this setting.
