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

A comprehensive review of phase I and phase II clinical trials of paclitaxel and paclitaxel-containing chemotherapy regimens for advanced gastric cancer was performed. Response rates, median progression-free survivals, and median overall survivals were examined, together with the treatment regimens and the numbers of patients registered in each trial. Although paclitaxel monotherapy produced considerable improvement in tumor response and prognosis, combination doublet or triplet chemotherapy with fluoropyrimidines and/or platinum compounds showed better results than the paclitaxel monotherapy. With regard to the schedule of paclitaxel administration, weekly injection seemed to show less toxicity and better results than administration every 3 weeks. Adjuvant therapies, chemoradiation therapies, and paclitaxel treatment for gastric ascites were also investigated and are discussed.
