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

Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is detected in 14% of gastric cancers at the time of initial diagnosis, with a median survival time of 4 months. A 66-year-old woman diagnosed with cT4a(SE) N2M1(LYN) cStage IV was treated with three lines of chemotherapy for a year. During the third line of chemotherapy, computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a large amount of ascites, periportal collar sign, and bilateral ureteral stenosis owing to PM. The tumor biomarkers (CEA and CA 19-9) remained elevated similar to the initial levels. The patient was administered 3 mg/kg nivolumab intravenously biweekly as the fourth line of chemotherapy. Three months after the nivolumab treatment, gastroscopy revealed an extreme reduction of the tumor size, while CT scan revealed the absence of ascites and a well-controlled tumor. There was no immune-related adverse event with nivolumab during and after the treatment, and performance status improved to 0. The patient has been alive for about 2.5 years since her first visit with her sixth line of chemotherapy (docetaxel). We report a case of advanced gastric cancer with PM that was treated successfully with nivolumab.
