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

Clinical effects of FOLFOX4 and TPF chemotherapy regimen on postoperative gastric cancer patients were investigated. A total of 60 patients admitted to the First People's Hospital of Changzhou receiving gastric cancer operation were selected and they were divided into two groups at random. Thirty patients in the FOLFOX4 group were treated with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and leucovorin, while 30 patients in the TPF group were treated with paclitaxel, fluorouracil and cisplatin. The therapeutic effects, adverse reactions, quality of life and survival time of patients in the two groups were observed. The total effective rate of the FOLFOX4 group was 73.3%, which was significantly higher than that of the TPF group (43.3%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportions of neurotoxicity and thrombocytopenia in the FOLFOX4 group were 56.7 and 33.3%, while those in the TPF group were 26.7 and 60%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The increasing proportion of postoperative scores of the FOLFOX4 group was 46.7%, which was significantly higher than that of the TPF group (20%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The 2- and 3-year survival rates of the FOLFOX4 group were 63.3 and 50%, which were significantly higher than those of the TPF group (36.7 and 23.3%), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Therefore, the effective rate of FOLFOX4 regimen is high in the treatment of gastric cancer with relatively fewer adverse reactions, which has a certain advantage.
