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

introductionHER2 over-expression and/or amplification are present in 9-38% of gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers and are correlated to poor outcome. We conducted a multicentre phase II trial to evaluate trastuzumab in combination with cisplatin in patients with untreated HER2-positive advanced gastric or GEJ cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodsChemo-naïve patients with measurable, non-resectable, advanced or metastatic gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, with HER2 over-expression and/or amplification (IHC 3+, or IHC 2+ and FISH+), age ≥18 years, ECOG ≤2, left ventricle ejection fraction ≥50% and adequate organ function were eligible. Treatment consisted of trastuzumab (8 mg/kg on cycle 1 day 1 as loading; 6 mg/kg in subsequent cycles) and cisplatin (75 mg/m(2)), both intravenously on day 1, every 21 days.

resultsTwenty-two out of 228 patients (10%) were HER2- positive and were included in this phase II trial. The median age was 66 years and ECOG 0/1 was 41%/59%. The median number of cycles was 4 (range 1-41). The confirmed ORR was 32% and disease control was achieved in 64% of patients. Median time to progression was 5.1 months. Grade 3 adverse events included asthenia (27%), neutropenia (18%), anorexia (14%), diarrhoea (9%) and abdominal pain (9%). There were no grade 4 toxicities or treatment-related deaths. Higher baseline HER extracellular domain (ECD) levels were associated with better outcome in terms of response and survival.

conclusionsTrastuzumab in combination with cisplatin is an active regimen and has a favourable toxicity profile in advanced HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal cancers.
