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

Liver metastases from gastric cancer are rarely indicated for surgery because they are often diagnosed as multiple nodules occupying both lobes and coexist with extra hepatic disease. A literature search identified no clinical trials on hepatectomy for this disease; only retrospective studies of a relatively small number of cases collected over more than a decade, mostly from a single institution, were found. Five-year survival rates from these reports ranged from 0 % to 37 %, and long-term survivors were observed among carefully selected case series. The most commonly reported prognostic factor was the number of metastatic nodules, and patients with a solitary metastasis tended to have superior outcome. Patients diagnosed to have a small number of metastatic nodules by modern imaging tools could be indicated for surgery. Because both intrahepatic and extrahepatic recurrences are common,patients are likely to benefit from perioperative adjuvant chemotherapy, although it is not possible at this time to specify which regimen is the most appropriate
