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

From a global perspective, gastric cancer including adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction is the fourth most common malignant tumor and the second most common cause of cancer-related death. Due to the lack of specific symptoms of early cancer, most gastric cancers are diagnosed in advanced stages. Staging should include high-resolution computed tomography of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis and documented video-endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound. In mucosal gastric cancer, endoscopic resection can replace surgical resection. In more advanced stages, perioperative chemotherapy has been established as a standard of care. In the metastatic setting, treatment goals are palliative. Chemotherapy can prolong survival, improve symptoms, and enhance the quality of life. Combination chemotherapy including a platinum salt plus fluoropyrimidine is the standard of care. About 16 % of gastric cancers exhibit overexpression of the growth factor receptor HER2. Trastuzumab has shown to prolong survival when combined with chemotherapy in HER2-positive gastric cancer.
