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

introductionThe optimal management strategy for synchronous gastric cancer (GC) and prostate cancer (PCa) remains unclear, particularly in cases in which two cancers are progressive. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 68-year-old man diagnosed with synchronous advanced GC and locally advanced PCa was referred to our institution. Laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) and robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy were simultaneously performed. The postoperative course was similar to the standard postoperative course of LTG alone. Pathological diagnoses were T3N3aM0 gastric adenocarcinoma and T3N0M0 prostatic adenocarcinoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for GC and PCa were initiated on postoperative days 15 and 27, respectively. Six months subsequent to surgery, the patient received adjuvant chemotherapy and ADT, and no evidence of cancer recurrence was observed. DISCUSSION: In terms of survival, curative resection with adjuvant therapy is advantageous for patients with advanced GC or locally advanced PCa. At present, treatment for synchronous cancer should be combined with optimal management for individual cancers. Minimally invasive surgery may play an important role in the multidisciplinary treatment of synchronous advanced cancer.

conclusionCombined laparoscopic and robotic surgery for synchronous GC and PCa allows for minimally invasive radical resection and appropriate adjuvant therapy.
