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

This pilot study was undertaken to assess the effect of weekly docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil (DCF) as a preoperative treatment for gastric cancer with multiple synchronous hepatic metastases. Gastric cancer patients with synchronous multiple liver metastasis were first given preoperative chemotherapy consisting of two courses (each course consisted of 6-week administration and 2-week withdrawal) of weekly DCF regimen. Following the operation, postoperative chemotherapy and hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) treatment were performed as required. Eight patients completed two courses of preoperative chemotherapy with weekly DCF regimen. No toxicity of grade 3 or more was observed during the course of chemotherapy. The response rate was 100% according to the RECIST criteria. Seven of the patients have survived for over 1 year, and six of them are still alive after more than 1 year. Because of the unexpected high response to weekly DCF, we consider that it should be verified through phase II and III trials as an important part of the comprehensive treatment for gastric cancer with liver metastasis.
