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

The aim of this study is to report first preliminary results of patients enrolled in a phase II study that will investigate the activity and safety of docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DOF) in combination with trastuzumab in human epidermal receptor-2 (HER-2) positive patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer.Treatment consisted of docetaxel 70 mg/m combined with oxaliplatin 130 mg/m on day 1, and continuous infusion 5-fluorouracil mg/m days 1-5 plus trastuzumab at the standard dose on day 1, every 3 weeks for a maximum of 8 cycles.Fifteen patients were enrolled. The overall response rate was 60%. The median progression-free survival was 9.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.4-10.1 months) and the median overall survival was 19.4 months (95% CI, 8.9-21.1 months). Grade 3 neutropenia was observed in 3 patients (20%).The DOF plus trastuzumab seems active in HER-2 positive advanced gastric or GEJ cancer, final results of the phase II study are awaited.
