The short-term efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant Sintilimab combined with chemotherapy for resectable gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionTo explore whether neoadjuvant Sintilimab is suitable for patients with gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, we designed this study to evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant Sintilimab in combination with chemotherapy for resectable GEJ adenocarcinoma.
methodsWe retrospectively collected data on patients with GEJ adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery after receiving neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy at Jining First People's Hospital between October 2020 and October 2023. The primary endpoint was complete pathological response (pCR) rate; secondary endpoints: major pathological response (MPR) rate, neoadjuvant therapy-related adverse events (AES), the safety of surgery, Postoperative Complications, and overall survival (OS).
results24 eligible patients were enrolled in the study and achieved a pCR rate of 16.7%. The treatment-related AES was manageable. The median time interval between the end of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery was 35 days (28-81 days), R0 resection rate was 100%. The most common postoperative complications in the study were pneumonia (n = 11, 45.8%). Median follow-up was 13.5(interquartile range: 8.00, 25.50) months, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed median OS was not reached.
conclusionsIt was safe and effective for resectable GEJ adenocarcinoma to undergo neoadjuvant Sintilimab combined with chemotherapy followed by surgery, and long-term efficacy needs to be confirmed by further follow-up.
