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

objectiveTo investigate the safety, efficacy, and prognosis of advanced gastric cancer patients treated with molecular targeted drug therapy.

methodsA total of 200 patients with metastatic gastric cancer admitted to our hospital from March 2018 to December 2018 were randomly selected and divided into the control group, group A, group B and group C, with 50 patients in each group. Patients in the control group received surgical treatment combined with conventional chemotherapy. Patients in group A were provided with surgical treatment combined with bevacizumab, patients in group B received surgical treatment combined with apatinib, and patients in group C received surgical treatment combined with recombinant human endostatin (RHE). Clinical efficacy, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) levels, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), sentinel lymph node (SLD) metastasis, and adverse reactions were compared among different groups of patients with metastatic gastric cancer.

resultsThere were no significant differences in treatment efficiency, VEGF and VEGFR-2 levels, RECIST, SLD metastasis value and adverse reactions among group A, group B and group C, and the results were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The levels of VEGF, VEGFR-2, SLD metastasis, and adverse reactions in group A, B, and C were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The effective rate of treatment and RECIST in group A, B and C were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the comparison results were statistically significant (P<0.05).

conclusionMolecular targeted drug therapy is effective and safe in patients with advanced gastric cancer, and the prognosis of patients is satisfactory, without the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells.
