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

aimsDescribe the characteristics, treatment patterns and outcomes of Chinese patients with unresectable advanced/metastatic (UAM) gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GA/GEJA).

methodsThis multicenter, retrospective, observational study included adults diagnosed with UAM GA/GEJA in China from 2017-2020.

resultsAmong 2,745 patients, 1,902, 729, and 284 received first-, second- and third-line (1 L, 2 L and 3 L) therapy-respectively. Most patients received chemotherapy alone in 1 L (84.1%) and 2 L (63.6%), and targeted-therapy-based treatment in 3 L (49.2%). Median real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) was 6.5, 4.2, and 3.2 months in 1 L, 2 L, and 3 L, respectively.

conclusionsChinese patients with UAM GA/GEJA mainly received chemotherapy alone in 1 L/2 L and targeted therapy in 3 L. Median rwPFS was short in all lines, highlighting the need for more effective treatments.
