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

It is still not clear whether pulmonary resection may have a role in the multidisciplinary management of gastric cancer lung metastases. A systematic literature search was performed to identify all studies published between January 1998 and December 2014 about pulmonary resection of gastric cancer metastases. Ten studies published between 1998 and 2013 were retrieved, including a total of 44 patients. After gastrectomy, median disease-free interval was 35 months. Thirty-eight patients had single lung metastases, whereas six presented with more than one lesion. Median overall survival after lung resection was 45 months, and median disease-free survival was 9 months. Our analysis of the recent literature shows that lung metastasectomy for gastric cancer pulmonary metastases has been reported only in the setting of anecdotic cases or small series of highly selected patients. Lung metastasectomy has no role in the standard management of metastatic gastric patients and may actually be proposed only in individual highly selected cases.
