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

backgroundThe aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the changes in clinical features and treatment outcomes of the patients with metastatic or recurrent gastric cancer (MRGC) treated in the past 12 years.

methodsA total of 3888 patients who received chemotherapy for MRGC between January 2000 and December 2011 were analyzed via a prospectively collected registry. The analysis focused on the comparison among three periods: 2000-2003 (period 1), 2004-2007 (period 2) and 2008-2011 (period 3).

resultsThere were 880 patients (23%) in period 1, 1573 (40%) in period 2 and 1435 (37%) in period 3. The most commonly used first-line chemotherapy regimen was fluoropyrimidine with/without platinum (72%) for all periods. The use of second- and third-line chemotherapy was slightly but significantly more common in the two recent periods: 46 and 19 % in period 1, 54 and 26% in period 2, and 53 and 27% in period 3, respectively. Overall, 3494 patients (89.9%) died with a median overall survival (OS) of 10.6 months (95% CI 10.2-11.0). The OS was statistically significantly improved over the study period: 9.6 months (95% CI 9.0-10.2) in period 1, 10.3 months (95% CI 9.8-10.9) in period 2 and 11.7 months (95% CI 11.0-12.4) in period 3 (p for trend <0.001). Multivariate analysis including eight prognostic factors (performance, gastrectomy, peritoneal/bone/lung metastasis, abnormal alkaline phosphatase/albumin/total bilirubin) showed that the more recent treatment period was an independent favorable prognostic factor for OS (p < 0.001).

conclusionThe OS of patients who receive chemotherapy for MRGC has been shown to improve over time.
