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

We experienced the case of successful conversion to distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer with direct invasion to the pancreatic head after the pre-operative chemotherapy. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy in a 66-year-old man revealed a tumor at the gastric antrum. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed that the tumor of the antrum was in contact with the pancreatic head. A biopsy of the tumor confirmed an adenocarcinoma and an overexpression of HER2 (3+). Staging laparoscopy showed the direct invasion of the gastric tumor to the pancreatic head. The patient received S-1, oxaliplatin and trastuzumab. After the pre-operative chemotherapy, CT showed a significantly shrinking tumor detached from the pancreatic head. Subsequently, distal gastrectomy was performed. Intra-operative exploration showed that the gastric tumor separated from the pancreatic head. The accumulation of trials for pre-operative chemotherapy for local advanced gastric cancer is expected.
