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

backgroundThe multimodality management of patients with gastroesophageal cancers is rapidly evolving, with the introduction of new therapies against potential molecular targets paving the way to personalized medicine for patients with both resectable and metastatic disease. Over the past 2 years, several important studies evaluating these new targeted therapies, as well as minimally invasive surgical approaches to gastric cancer, have been published.

methodsThis review article summarizes the top studies published in gastric cancer over the past 2 years that are fundamentally changing our practice approach to gastric cancer patients.

resultsFirst, the long-term safety and efficacy of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy as compared with open gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer was confirmed with the publication of the 5-year outcomes of the CLASS-01 and KLASS-02 randomized clinical trials. In addition, several important studies of perioperative immunotherapy for patients with resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancers are ongoing, and in 2022, an interim analysis of the DANTE trial and the final results of the GERCOR NEONIPIGA study were reported. Lastly, the KEYNOTE-859 and SPOTLIGHT trials address an unmet need for additional targeted therapies for patients with previously untreated, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative, unresectable or metastatic gastroesophageal cancers, incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeting Claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2) with the monoclonal antibody zolbetuximab, respectively.

conclusionsThis article summarizes the findings and implications of several important studies published over the past 2 years that are fundamentally changing the way we treat patients with gastroesophageal cancer.
