Survival benefit of anti-angiogenic agents in patients with previously treated advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer: a meta-analysis.
Article in Oncotarget, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
There is a debate as to whether anti-angiogenic molecular agents can produce survival benefits in patients with previously treated advanced gastric cancer (GC) or gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJC). We performed this meta-analysis of randomized trials to evaluate the survival outcomes of an anti-angiogenic agent versus placebo in the salvage treatment of advanced GC or GEJC. Electronic databases were searched for eligible studies. From the four studies, 910 patients with previously treated advanced GC or GEJC were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with placebo, anti-angiogenic targeted agents significantly improved progression-free survival (hazard ratio = 0.37 [95% confidence interval, 0.26-0.53],
