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

backgroundGastric cancer is the fourth cause of cancer-related death in Europe and the prognosis of these patients remains dismal. It has been demonstrated that chemotherapy improved survival compared with best supportive care and recently, subsequent lines of therapy, also with new drugs, obtained positive results. SUMMARY: We present the case of a patient diagnosed with a de novo metastatic gastric cancer who experienced an extraordinary long response to multiple lines of chemotherapy (FOLFOX6, paclitaxel plus ramucirumab, FOLFIRI, rechallenge with FOLFOX6). KEY MESSAGE: Gastric cancer therapy should be considered as the result of a strategy based on the patient's condition, and tolerance and response to various therapies. The emerging evidence of the role of subsequent lines of therapy, along with the recognition of the pivotal role of nutritional support and the availability of new drugs, should help clinicians in the management of patients with gastric cancer. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: We propose a practical therapeutic algorithm in order to help clinicians who deal with patients with gastric cancer.
