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

backgroundHow the interval between surgery and S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT), and S-1 relative dose intensity (RDI) affect prognosis in patients with stage II/III gastric cancer who undergo gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection followed by S-1 ACT is unclear.

methodsWe enrolled 95 patients with histopathologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma treated with gastrectomy with D2 dissection, followed by S-1 ACT.

resultsPer ROC analysis, we used 32 days as the optimal cut-off interval to divide patients into the delayed group (started ACT ≥ 32 days) and the non-delayed group ( < 32 days). Their 5-year overall survival (OS) rates differed significantly (delayed: 54.2%, non-delayed: 85.4%; P  <  0.0001). Per ROC analysis of patients without recurrence within 1 year post-surgery, patients were divided into the high RDI (RDI

conclusionsEarly initiation and sufficient RDI for S-1 ACT can improve the prognosis of patients with stage II/III gastric cancer.
