Shortcoming of ypStage staging system: Lack of differentiation for preoperative treatment.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The eighth edition of the AJCC staging manual initially proposed the ypTNM staging system, which was specifically designed to assess the staging and predict the prognosis of cancer patients undergoing preoperative treatment. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether this staging system is an accurate predictor of outcomes for cancer patients undergoing different preoperative treatments. The clinical and pathological data of gastric cancer patients who received preoperative treatment and subsequent curved tented gastrostomy were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. A comparison of survival rates was conducted between patients with the same ypStage staging who received preoperative chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, using the Kaplan-Meier method. Additionally, a Cox regression analysis was performed to identify the factors influencing survival following preoperative treatment. A total of 202 patients were included in the study. The results demonstrated a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in survival between patients who received preoperative chemoradiotherapy and those who received preoperative chemotherapy in ypStage II or III patients.Cox regression analysis revealed that ypT, ypN and ypStage were associated with OS, but were not independent prognostic factors following gastrectomy. The survival of gastric cancer patients who are classified in the same ypStage stage but who receive disparate preoperative treatments is not analogous. The eighth edition staging system remains in need of further refinement to ensure accurate prediction of prognosis following diverse preoperative therapeutic regimens.
