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

backgroundThis pilot study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy for patients with peritoneal dissemination from gastric cancer or positive lavage cytology diagnosed by staging laparoscopy.

methodsSixteen patients were enrolled. Paclitaxel was administered at 120 mg/m(2) on day 1 and S-1 was administered orally at 80 mg/m(2) for 14 consecutive days, followed by a 1-week rest, as one course. After five courses of this therapy, the primary gastric tumors were evaluated and second-look laparoscopy was performed for patients showing partial response or stable disease with clinical benefit.

resultsPartial response or stable disease with clinical benefit was confirmed in seven and five patients, respectively, and these patients underwent second-look laparoscopy. No viable cancer cells were detected on cytopathological investigation during second-look laparoscopy in 9 patients who underwent surgical treatment. The intent-to-treat response rate for gastric tumor was 44% and the rate of disappearance of peritoneal metastasis was 38% (6 cases) at surgery. The median survival time was 555 days. Leucopenia of grade 3 and neutropenia of grade 3 were recognized in two and three patients, respectively.

conclusionThis chemotherapy regimen may be an acceptable option for patients with peritoneal dissemination. We plan to study this regimen further in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal dissemination.
