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

lessons learnedPerioperative capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CapeOx) therapy showed favorable efficacy with sufficient pathological response. Small sample size limited the statistical power of this result. Perioperative CapeOx therapy showed good feasibility. Further studies with larger sample size are required to validate this novel approach.

backgroundD2 gastrectomy followed by adjuvant S-1 is the standard therapy for patients (pts) with stage III gastric cancer (GC) in Japan; however, the outcome is not satisfactory. We examined the efficacy of perioperative capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CapeOx) in pts with GC.

methodsThe eligibility criteria included confirmed clinical T3(SS)/T4a(SE) N1-3 M0 GC according to the Japanese Classification (JCGC; 3rd English Edition). Three cycles of neoadjuvant CapeOx (NAC; capecitabine, 2,000 mg/m

resultsThirty-seven pts were enrolled on CapeOx. An R0 resection rate of 78.4% (n = 29) and a pRR of 54.1% (n = 20, p = .058; 90% confidence interval [CI], 39.4-68.2) were demonstrated. Among 27 pts who initiated AC, 21 (63.6%) completed the treatment. Grade 3-4 toxicities during NAC included neutropenia (8%), thrombocytopenia (8%), and anorexia (8%) and during AC included neutropenia (37%), diarrhea (4%), and anorexia (4%).

conclusionPerioperative CapeOx showed good feasibility and favorable efficacy with sufficient pathological response, although statistical significance at .058 did not reach the commonly accepted cutoff of .05. The data obtained using this novel approach warrant further investigations.
