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

In Japan, standard first-line chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer was initially 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) monotherapy. This is based on the Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) 9205 phase III trial. Based on recent Japanese phase III trials, S1 plus cisplatin combination chemotherapy was established as the standard first-line chemotherapy, and this combination has met the global standard regimen of 5-FU (capecitabine) plus a platinum analog (cisplatin or oxaliplatin). Since the same standard regimen has been established outside Japan, many global trials are currently ongoing in other countries aside from Japan. With the recent development of many molecular targeted agents, global collaboration in clinical trials is necessary for their immediate evaluation. We review the results of recent phase III trials of first-line chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer in Japan and other countries.
