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

objectiveTo present a comprehensive account and literature review addressing the anatomical distribution, natural history, and management strategies for locoregional recurrence in early-stage gastric cancer (EGC). PATIENTS AND

methodsRetrospective chart review of patients presenting with EGC recurrence at King Hussein Cancer Center (Amman, Jordan) between July 2006 and May 2009. A literature review of publications addressing recurrence following surgery for EGC was undertaken via a systematic search of PUBMED database and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline updates.

resultsSeventeen patients presented with EGC, three of whom (17.6%) were pathologically staged as T2N1 [1/33 lymph nodes (LNs)], T1N0, and T1N0 were afflicted by recurrence following R0 partial gastrectomy. Literature review yielded 18 studies specifically addressing recurrence in EGC. Several management strategies have been proposed for isolated recurrence following gastrectomy in EGC. NCCN clinical practice guideline updates do not take into consideration whether the recurrence is isolated or widespread and whether the initial stage is early or advanced.

conclusionsWhile acknowledging the limitations of this study, including the small sample size and the short follow-up period, it appears clear that oncologic treatment is possible for EGC recurrence, particularly, in patients with isolated relapse. Guideline updates should differentiate between management strategies suitable for recurrence occurring in early versus advanced initial cancer stage.
