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

introductionData regarding long-term survival and prognosis in loco-regionally advanced, non-metastatic gastric cancers (GC) using perioperative chemotherapy and D2 lymphadenectomies from India is scarce. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study is a retrospective evaluation of locally advanced gastric cancers who received epirubicin-oxaliplatin-capecitabine (EOX) as perioperative therapy from May 2013 to December 2015 at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai. The report concentrates on long-term survival outcomes and prognostic factors. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method.

resultsTwo hundred and sixty-eight patients were started on EOX regimen, of which 200 patients (74.6%) underwent definitive resection with D2 lymphadenectomy. With a median follow-up of 52.7 months, the estimated median 3-year and 5-year EFS were 38.5% and 36.3% respectively. The estimated median 3-year and 5-year OS were 41.7% and 37.6% respectively. Patients younger than age 40 years [HR 1.55 (1.034-2.321); p = 0.034] and with poorly differentiated histology [HR 0.65 (0.446-0.944); p = 0.024] had inferior OS compared to their counterparts.

conclusionsLong-term OS in Indian patients in non-metastatic GC with EOX chemotherapy and D2 lymphadenectomy is similar to previously published Western data. Younger Indian patients fare worse than their older counterparts and this needs further evaluation.
