ypTNM staging is a potentially useful prognostic stratification tool in patients with advanced gastric cancer after preoperative chemotherapy.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
purposeAlthough the usefulness of the ypStage in neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (GC) has been reported, whether or not the ypStage is applicable to all GC patients who receive preoperative chemotherapy, including conversion surgery cases, is unclear. Therefore, this retrospective study evaluated the value of the ypTNM staging system in all advanced GC patients who received chemotherapy prior to gastrectomy.
methodsA total of 66 patients who underwent chemotherapy prior to gastrectomy for advanced GC at Chiba University Hospital from January 2008 to December 2020 were enrolled in the current study. The prognostic impact of the ypStage on the overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were examined via univariate and multivariate analyses.
resultsThe 5-year OS rates for ypStage I, II, III, and IV were 87.5%, 64.7%, 52.9%, and 28.6%, respectively, while the 5-year RFS rates were 81.3%, 57.4%, 44.4%, and 28.6%, respectively. The univariate analysis revealed that the ypStage was significantly correlated with the OS (p = 0.037) and the ypT status and ypStage showed a significant correlation with the RFS (p = 0.043 and p = 0.021, respectively). The multivariate analysis demonstrated that only the ypStage was an independent prognostic factor for the OS and RFS (p = 0.024 and p = 0.018, respectively).
conclusionThe ypTNM stage may be a useful tool for the risk stratification of all advanced GC patients treated with chemotherapy followed by gastrectomy, including not only neoadjuvant but also conversion surgery cases.
