Review in International journal of clinical oncology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Until the 1990s, there were no chemotherapy regimens with old-generation anticancer agents showing a survival benefit over 5-fluorouracil (FU) alone, and standard chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer had not been established. In the late 1990s, several new active agents were developed and some phase III trials with these agents were conducted; the new agent S-1 showed noninferiority to 5-FU in these trials. S-1 plus cisplatin is the first doublet chemotherapy to have shown a survival benefit over monotherapy with S-1. It has been demonstrated that capecitabine and oxaliplatin (OHP) can replace 5-FU and cisplatin (CDDP), offering more convenient treatment options. Thus, combination chemotherapy with an oral fluoropyrimidine (S-1 or capecitabine) and platinum (CDDP or OHP) has been recognized as standard chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer all over the world. However, it can be said that none of these new combination chemotherapies have shown remarkable progress from 5-FU plus cisplatin regimens. It is expected that triplet chemotherapy with a taxane; the use of molecular targeting agents; and the establishment of treatment strategies including second line chemotherapy, will lead to remarkable progress in personalized medicine in the near future.
