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

purposeWe designed a phase I/II trial of intraperitoneal (IP) docetaxel plus S-1 to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose (RD) and to evaluate its efficacy and safety in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC).

methodsPatients with PC confirmed by laparoscopy or laparotomy received IP docetaxel on days 1 and 15 and S-1 (80 mg/m(2)) on days 1-14 every 4 weeks.

resultsIn the phase I part (n = 12), each cohort received escalating doses of docetaxel (35-50 mg/m(2)); the MTD was determined to be 50 mg/m(2) and the RD was determined to be 45 mg/m(2). Dose-limiting toxicities included grade 3 febrile neutropenia and grade 3 diarrhea. In the phase II part (n = 27), the median number of courses was 4 (range 2-11). The 1-year overall survival (OS) rate was 70 % (95 % confidence interval 53-87 %). The overall response rate was 22 % and peritoneal cytology turned negative in 18 of 22 (81 %) patients. The most frequent grade 3/4 toxicities included anorexia (19 %), neutropenia (7 %), and leukopenia (7 %).

conclusionIP docetaxel plus S-1 is active and safety in gastric cancer patients with PC.
