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

objectivesWe investigated the prognostic value of tumor blood supply in patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC) receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 53 patients with advanced GC treated with FLEEOX chemotherapy. The tumor computed tomography (CT) enhancement value was measured before chemotherapy (CT1; arterial phase CT-plain phase CT). The liver parenchyma CT enhancement value (CT2) was also measured using the same method, to eliminate individual differences. Tumor blood supply was defined as good or poor based on the median CT1/CT2 values. We evaluated the relationships between tumor blood supply and response to chemotherapy, clinicopathologic characteristics, and overall survival (OS).

resultsA good blood supply (GBS) was associated with significantly better clinical and pathological responses to chemotherapy than a poor blood supply (PBS). The 3-year OS was 65.8% for the entire cohort. Patients with a GBS had a significantly higher OS (78.57%) than those with a PBS (54.44%). Additionally, patients with Bormann type III GC had a better blood supply than those with type II GC.

conclusionPatients with advanced GC and a GBS are more likely to benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy than those with a PBS. Blood supply may thus be a predictor for chemotherapy response.
