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

lessons learnedEvidence has suggested that capecitabine-cisplatin is similar or possibly superior to S-1-cisplatin in terms of safety and efficacy for Japanese patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC).As far as we are aware, our study is the first randomized trial of two regimens consisting of an oral fluoropyrimidine plus cisplatin in human epidermal growth receptor 2-negative AGC patients with measurable lesions.

backgroundWe performed a phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of capecitabine plus cisplatin in comparison with S-1 plus cisplatin for first-line treatment of human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced gastric cancer in Japan.

methodsEligible patients were randomly assigned to receive either capecitabine at 1,000 mg/m

resultsResponse rate did not differ significantly between the capecitabine-cisplatin and S-1-cisplatin groups (53.5% vs. 51.2%, respectively,

conclusionCapecitabine-cisplatin failed to demonstrate superior efficacy compared with S-1-cisplatin. The higher incidence of severe adverse events with capecitabine-cisplatin suggests that S-1-cisplatin should remain the standard first-line chemotherapy for HER2-negative advanced gastric cancer in Japan.
