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

Synchronous gastric cancer with another neoplasm is a rare condition, with colorectal cancer being the most frequently associated neoplasm. This article presents a case of a 76-year-old male diagnosed with synchronous gastric and rectal cancer with complete remission of gastric and rectal neoplasms after adjuvant therapy. The patient exhibited symptoms prompting upper and lower endoscopies, revealing gastric and rectal adenocarcinomas, respectively. Staging was performed, and due to the locally advanced nature of both malignancies, the patient underwent total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for rectal cancer. The treatment consisted of external radiotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy with oxaliplatin, leucovorin, folinic acid, and fluorouracil (FOLFOX). Remarkably, after seven cycles, a complete clinical response of the rectal neoplasm was achieved. Subsequent surgical resection included simultaneous subtotal gastrectomy and rectal anterior resection, resulting in a complete pathological response for both tumors. To the best of our knowledge, it is among the first cases to report a full pathological response in gastric cancer following TNT intended for rectal cancer.
