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

backgroundA multicenter phase II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination regimen of weekly paclitaxel plus S-1 in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

methodsPatients with previously untreated metastatic or recurrent gastric cancer received intravenous paclitaxel 50 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8, and 15, plus oral S-1 40 mg/m(2) b.i.d. on days 1 to 14 followed by 2 weeks off, in a 28-day cycle.

resultsA total of 54 patients were registered. All of them had measurable disease and were determined to be eligible for the present study. Two complete responses and 23 partial responses were confirmed, giving an overall response rate of 46.3%. At a final follow up of 3 years, the median progression-free survival and median overall survival were 6.0 and 14.3 months, respectively. Grade 3 neutropenia occurred in 14 patients, and grade 4 in 1 patient (total, 27.8%). The most serious nonhematological toxicity was diarrhea, where grade 3 occurred in 5 patients (9.3%). There were no treatment-related deaths.

conclusionA combination of weekly paclitaxel plus S-1 was found to be well tolerated and effective in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Further investigation with comparative trials is needed for confirmation.
