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

A pathological complete response (pCR) to treatment for gastric cancer is a rare event, even when powerful treatment regimens are used. Herein, a case of 61-year-old male referred to our hospital with advanced gastric cancer who achieved a pCR following chemotherapy using S-1, and subsequently underwent total gastrectomy is reported. His initial esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed an irregular, nodular, ulcerated lesion in the upper third of the stomach that was analyzed by biopsy to be a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed gastric wall thickening and lymph node swelling in the perigastric area. The patient was clinically diagnosed with cT3N1M0, stage IIB advanced gastric cancer. The patient decided against curative surgery due to his work circumstances and was started on S-1 (80 mg/m
