Clinical observation of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in super-aged patients with advanced gastric cancer.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
purposeTo retrospectively analyze the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in super-aged patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC), as well as the effects of TACE on quality of life (QOL) and anxiety state.
methodsIn this study, 32 AGC patients aged over 80 years old were enrolled and treated with TACE. Complications of TACE and total effective rate of symptom relief after TACE were observed. Changes of the maximum diameter of solid tumors before and after TACE were compared by reexamination of abdominal computerized tomography. QOL, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) scores of tumor patients were performed before TACE and 3d, 28d, and 90d after TACE.
resultsNo serious complications occurred during or after TACE in any patient. The total effective rate of symptom relief was 56.25% at 28d after TACE and 71.88% at 90d after TACE. Compared with before TACE, the maximum diameter of tumor was significantly decreased after TACE; ECOG was increased at 3d after TACE, while was decreased at 28d and 90d after TACE (P < 0.05); QOL and HAMA had no significant change at 3d after TACE, while increased significantly at 28d and 90d after TACE (all P < 0.05).
conclusionTACE was safe and effective, could shrink tumors, and improve the QOL and anxiety for super-aged patients with AGC.
