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

objectiveConversion surgery is a surgery with a purpose of R0 resection in primary advanced gastric cancer (GC) that responded well to systemic chemotherapy. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of conversion surgery for advanced GC.

methodsA total of 618 advanced GC patients receiving systemic chemotherapy were stratified into low-, moderate- and high-risk groups based on a nomogram-predicted probability of overall survival. The survival of conversion surgery and chemotherapy alone groups was compared using the log-rank test and Cox regression analysis after propensity score matching (PSM).

resultsA nomogram with good discrimination (concordance index: 0.65) and accurate calibration was constructed. After PSM, the median survival time (MST) of conversion surgery was 26.80 months, compared with 16.60 months of chemotherapy alone (P<0.001). Conversion surgery was associated with a longer MST for patients in the low-risk group (30.40 months

conclusionsConversion surgery was associated with longer survival, especially for low-risk population.
