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

aim of the studyTo determine the effect of chemoradiotherapy (CRT)-induced lymphopaenia, and irradiated splenic volume and splenic doses on oncological outcomes in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). MATERIAL AND

methodsA consecutive cohort of 52 patients with LAGC treated between 2005 and December 2016 was included. The absolute neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts were recorded prior to any treatment (baseline), just after the completion of CRT, and 2

resultsThe median follow-up time was 30 months (range, 8

conclusionsSevere lymphopaenia could not be accepted as a predictive or prognostic factor for LAGC. Mean and maximum splenic doses should be kept on mind while evaluating the treatment dose-volume histograms (DVHs). Patient age, IV usage of concomitant CT agent, and RT technique can influence the ALC. Disease-related factors such as stage and MDLN ratio were the most important factors.
