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

backgroundFluoropyrimidine- and platinum-based doublet regimen is the standard treatment of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) for gastric cancer (GC). Our study aims to compare S1 with doublet regimens as AC in patients with advanced GC after radical surgery with D2 dissection.

methodsPatients who were diagnosed with GC and underwent a curative surgery with D2 dissection followed by AC were enrolled into our study. A propensity score matching analysis was performed to reduce the selection bias. Kaplan-Meier curves were estimated for recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Cox regression models were conducted for survival.

resultsAfter propensity sore matching, 64 patients with S1 and 64 patients with doublet regimens were identified. The median RFS (

conclusionsOur study demonstrated that doublet regimens are superior to S1 in high-risk groups, and that survival outcomes are similar between doublet regimens and S1 in low-risk groups. Our prognostic model might have clinical implications for AC.
