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

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have completely changed the face of oncology over the last 50 years, and they have contributed to a major breakthrough in terms of cancer therapy. Esophageal and gastric cancers, the eighth and fifth most commonly diagnosed types of cancer worldwide, respectively, have lately, been managed more effectively, with the introduction of new therapeutic treatment strategies, especially mAbs. Combination treatments and new molecules have changed the face of the disease, while more therapies are getting approved on a daily basis. This review aims to analyse the major up-to-date clinical trials using mAbs and immunotherapy for the treatment of advanced gastro-esophageal cancers.
