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

backgroundNeoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by surgery currently offers promise as a strategy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (GC). However, there is limited evidence to guide treatment for TRG 0 and 1 patients with locally advanced GC after R0 resection. This study set out to explore the optimal management for TRG 0 and 1 patients with locally advanced GC after R0 resection.

methodsThe retrospective data of 154 TRG 0 and 1 patients with locally advanced GC following R0 resection who were treated between January 2012 and December 2018 were collected and analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival rate. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazards model.

resultsThe median follow-up was 34.1 (range, 6.6-90.9) months. Six patients (3.9%) were lost during follow-up. Of the 27 patients who experienced relapse, 12 died, including 2 patients who died of non-neoplastic causes. The 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS) were 71.6% (95% CI: 68.5-79.6) and 82.9% (95% CI: 76.9-86.1) for the whole cohort, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that patients with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) <5.0 ng/ml after NAC (77.7%

conclusionsTRG 0 and 1 patients with local GC after R0 resection following NAC had a good prognosis, especially patients with CEA <5.0 ng/mL after NAC, and those without major complications or lymph node metastasis. Monotherapy or no chemotherapy may offer options for treating TRG 0 and 1 patients without adverse prognostic factors.
