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

purposeThe impact of post-progression survival (PPS) on the overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) has not yet been reported in detail. We analyzed prospectively collected data from AGC patients who received first-line chemotherapy including fluoropyrimidine plus platinum.

methodsWe partitioned OS into progression-free survival (PFS) and PPS in each patient and analyzed correlations between OS and either PFS or PPS using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient (ρ).

resultsA total of 291 AGC patients met the inclusion criteria with median PFS, PPS, and OS of 5.3, 8.1, and 14.8 months, respectively. PFS and OS for each patient showed a correlation of ρ = 0.75 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.69-0.81]. PPS and OS showed a correlation of ρ = 0.87 (95% CI 0.84-0.91). According to multivariate analysis, performance status at progression, PFS of first-line chemotherapy, and use of second-line chemotherapy were independently associated with PPS.

conclusionsThese results indicate that both PFS and PPS are correlated with OS in first-line chemotherapy for AGC, suggesting the importance of reporting detailed patient characteristics and treatment course after disease progression in clinical trials of first-line chemotherapy for AGC.
