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

background and purposeComplete surgical resection remains the only curative treatment option in locally advanced gastric cancer (GC). Several studies were conducted to prevent local recurrence and to increase the chance of cure. The aim of this study was to summarize our experience in locally advanced GC patients treated with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and to evaluate overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), toxicity rate and compliance to treatment. MATERIALS AND

methodsLocally advanced GC stage IB-III were included. Adjuvant CRT consisted of 45-50.4 Gy (1.8 Gy/day, 5 days/week) with concomitant Macdonald regimen (Mcd) or Epirubicin, Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil (ECF) scheme. Univariate and multivariate analysis of several prognostic factors for OS was conducted.

resultsFourty-nine GC patients were treated: 24 received Mcd and 25 received ECF. Median follow up was 48 months. Acute grade 3-4 toxicity was observed in 6 patients. The 2-year and 5-year OS rates were 65.3% and 41.5%, respectively. The 2-year and 5-year DFS were 59.2% and 41.2%, respectively. No prognostic factors were significantly associated with OS.

conclusionsAdjuvant CRT is a feasible strategy in locally advanced GC. It has an acceptable toxicity rate and it is able to increase both DFS and OS.
