Clinicopathological features and survival outcomes for gastric adenocarcinoma: Real-world single-center data.

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
introductionGastric cancer is the fifth most-common cancer and fourth common cause for cancer-related deaths globally. Surgery preceded or followed by chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy is considered an optimal treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer. This study is a real-world data from a tertiary referral institute in southern India, in its experience with treating gastric adenocarcinoma over a period of four years with a minimum of two-year follow-up.
methodsThis was a retrospective analysis of data of patients with histologically proven gastric adenocarcinoma enrolled in the Department of Medical Oncology from 2015 to 2018. The demographic details, presentation, staging, treatment received and outcomes of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were collected and analyzed in this study.
resultsTotal 488 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were included for the study. The stage-wise distribution of patients revealed early and locally advanced (45%) and metastatic (55%). The peritoneum and liver were the common sites of metastasis. The treatment distribution of these patients included perioperative chemotherapy followed by surgery (25 [5%]), surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (65 [13%]), surgery alone (16 [3%]), perioperative chemotherapy alone (23 [4%]), palliative chemotherapy (274 [56%]) and supportive care (85 [17%]). The median overall survival for curative, palliative and supportive treatment was 23 (18-28), nine (7.6-10.4) and four (2.7-5.3) months, respectively. The two-year overall survival in the intention to treat population in the primary surgery (n = 81) and perioperative chemotherapy groups (n = 66) was 67.4% vs. 29.9% (p < 0.0001), respectively.
conclusionThis study highlights the advanced nature of the presentation of gastric cancer patients and the poor rate of treatment completion. The median survival rates in curative patients remain to be dismally poor. The treatment sequence in curable gastric cancer of surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy vs. perioperative chemotherapy followed by surgery needs to be explored in our country.
