Outcomes of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation in Patients with Gastro-esophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: a Retrospective Cohort Study in Iran.

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
purposeThe optimal treatment for locally advanced GEJ and cardia adenocarcinoma is controversial. Several studies have shown that treating these patients with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery leads to survival benefits, and there are also studies that have declared conflicting results. It seems that there is still room for discussion. We calculated the survival rates and pathologic responses in our patients with characteristics which we mentioned above.
methodsPatients with locally advanced, non-metastatic GEJ and cardia adenocarcinomas (only patients with Siewert's type I and II), who were referred to Imam Khomeini hospital (Institute of cancer) between 2005 and 2014 and received neoadjuvant chemoradiation and underwent surgery were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. Evaluations were done every 3 months.
resultsThirty-two patients enrolled in this study. Median follow up time was 23 months (Reverse Kaplan-Meier method). The rates of 1-year survival, 2-year survival, 3-year survival, 4-year survival, and 5-year survival were 75%, 52%, 52%, 37%, and 37%, respectively. No local recurrences occurred among patients; however, four patients experienced distal recurrence in the following locations: two cases (6.3%) in the liver, one case (3.1%) in the lung, and one case (3.1%) in the peritoneum. The rate of complete pathologic response (T
conclusionsNeoadjuvant chemoradiation in patients with locally advanced GEJ and cardia adenocarcinoma will lead to a survival benefit.
