Correlation Between Hemoglobin Levels and the Prognosis of First-Line Chemotherapy in Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancer.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
backgroundThis retrospective study evaluated the prognostic significance of hemoglobin (Hb) levels in patients (pts) with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer who have not previously received chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe screened 249 pts with advanced gastric cancer, who were categorized into four groups, namely, non-anemia (normal Hb levels), mild (10 g/dl to normal), moderate (8-10 g/dl), and severe anemia groups (<8 g/dl), to study the prognostic significance of Hb levels. We also examined the correlation between changes in Hb levels and treatment effects via imaging during the treatment course.
resultsThe objective response rate (ORR) was 47.4% for pts with anemia versus 43.4% for pts without anemia (
conclusionOur findings indicate that Hb levels are associated with the prognosis in the first-line chemotherapy for pts with advanced gastric cancer. Pts with progressive disease experience a larger decrease in Hb levels, and those with baseline Hb levels ≥10 g/dl experience longer OS.
