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

purposeThe impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) on patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) and mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) of the stomach is unclear. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effects of NAC on patients with these conditions.

methodsThis study included patients with locally advanced NEC or MANEC of the stomach who underwent gastrectomy. Histologic and prognostic effects of NAC were assessed. The overall survival (OS) rate was used to compare treatment efficacies between NAC patients and surgery-first patients.

resultsOf the 69 patients included in this study, 20 received NAC and 49 underwent surgery first after diagnosis. A total of 13 patients responded to NAC (including 3 with complete remission and 10 with partial remission) and 7 patients acquired stable disease status according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. One patient (5%) achieved a pathological complete response after NAC. Pathological tumor regression grades 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were observed in 1 (5%), 5 (25%), 3 (15%), 10 (50%), and 1 (5%) patient(s) with NAC, respectively. The incidence of postoperative complications was similar in the two groups. Patients in the NAC group demonstrated better OS than did patients in the surgery-first group (P = 0.032). Multivariate analyses showed that NAC, adjuvant chemotherapy, and the clinical N stage were independent factors affecting OS.

conclusionIn patients with locally advanced NEC and MANEC of the stomach, NAC significantly improved OS.
