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

Although standard chemotherapy for esophageal cancer patients is fluorouracil and cisplatin, the prognosis is still unsatisfactory. A new therapeutic regimen combining docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil was recently developed to improve both local and distant tumor control. We developed a new regimen of docetaxel, nedaplatin, and S1 (DGS) and previously reported the recommended dose in a phase I dose-escalation study. We then undertook a phase II study of DGS for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Patients with clinical stage IB/II/III disease were eligible. Patients received two courses of chemotherapy: docetaxel 35 mg/m(2) with nedaplatin 40 mg/m(2) on day 8, 80 mg/m(2) S1 on days 1-14, and 2 weeks off. After completion of chemotherapy, patients underwent esophagectomy. The primary endpoint was the completion rate of protocol treatment (completion of two courses of preoperative chemotherapy and R0 surgery [no residual tumor]). We enrolled 32 patients. The completion rate of protocol treatment was 96.9%. During chemotherapy, the most common grade 3 or 4 toxicity was neutropenia (25.0%). No treatment-related deaths were observed, and the incidence of operative morbidity was tolerable. The overall response rate after chemotherapy was 83.3%. This DGS regimen was well tolerated and highly active. This trial is registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN ID: 000014626).
