Indications for adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with pT1N1M0 gastric cancer: a single-center experience.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
purposeWhether adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) has a survival benefit for all patients with pathological stage pT1N1M0 (Stage IB) gastric cancer (GC) remains controversial.
methodsAll patients with surgically resected, histologically confirmed pT1N1M0 GC between January 2011 and December 2017 at the National Cancer Center, China, were retrospectively reviewed.
resultsA total of 179 patients with pT1N1M0 were identified. Survival analysis showed that both overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS) were significantly different between patients treated with and without AC (p < 0.01). Independent risk factors for reduced OS identified in the Cox regression analysis in patients with pT1N1M0 cancer were sex (male sex, hazard ratio [HR] 2.470, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.294-4.718), examined lymph nodes (EN) (EN ≤ 15, HR 2.402; 95% CI 1.329-4.341), and AC (treated without AC, HR 2.554; 95% CI 1.393-4.681), which were also independent risk factors for reduced CSS. We divided patients with pT1N1M0 into three risk categories (high, moderate, and low) according to two significant prognostic factors (sex and EN) and found that both OS and CSS were significantly different between the three risk groups (p < 0.05).
conclusionAn additional survival benefit related to AC is expected for selected pT1N1M0 patients. Male patients with EN ≤ 15 may be particularly appropriate candidates for AC.
