Efficacy of Regional Chemotherapy Approach in Peritoneal Metastatic Gastric Cancer.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Peritoneal spread is frequent in gastric cancer (GC) and a palliative condition. After failure to systemic chemotherapy (sCTx) remaining therapeutic options are very limited. We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of locoregional chemotherapy (RegCTx) in peritoneal metastatic GC. In total, 38 (23 male and 15 female) patients with peritoneal metastatic GC after failure of previous sCTx and unresectable disease were enrolled in this study. Using the hypoxic abdominal stop-flow perfusion, upper abdominal perfusion and intraarterial infusion technique in total 114 cycles with Cisplatin, Adriamycin and Mitomycin C were applied. No significant procedure related toxicity was noticed- especially no Grade 3 or 4 toxicity occurred. With the RegCTx approach a median overall survival of 17.4 months was achieved. Patients who had undergone previously resection of the GC the median overall survival was even better with 23.5 months. RegCTx is a promising, safe and efficient approach in diffuse metastatic GC. The evaluation of RegCTx in the setting of multimodal treatment approach at less advanced stages is also warranted.
