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

A recent JCOG1104, OPAS-1 trial revealed the significance of S-1 duration. However, the significance of cumulative total S-1 dose (CTSD) remains unclear. In this study, we designed to evaluate the prognostic effect of CTSD on adjuvant chemotherapy after curative gastrectomy. We retrospectively analyzed 77 consecutive pStage II and III gastric cancer (GC) patients, who underwent curative gastrectomy followed by adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy from 2008 through 2014. CTSD of 20000 mg was the upper-limit of cut-off value to stratify the prognosis (5-year relapse free survival (RFS); CTSD < 20000 mg vs. CTSD ≥ 20000 mg: 51.9% vs. 85.1%,
