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

introductionGastric adenocarcinoma with enteroblastic differentiation (GAED) is a rare subtype of gastric cancer known for its aggressive nature compared to conventional gastric adenocarcinoma. Due to its rarity and high malignancy, reports of successful medication therapy for Stage IV GAED are scarce. In this case, we report a GAED patient with peritoneal dissemination who responded well to combination chemotherapy with nivolumab, leading to the possibility of conversion surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old man presented with anemia and was diagnosed with GAED involving pancreatic infiltration and peritoneal dissemination. As first-line treatment, he underwent 9 cycles of S-1 and oxaliplatin chemotherapy combined with nivolumab. The tumor showed remarkable shrinkage. Staging laparoscopy revealed the disappearance of peritoneal nodules, and negative peritoneal cytology was confirmed intraoperatively. Consequently, conversion surgery was performed, involving laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection and Roux-en-Y reconstruction. Pathological examination showed ypT2N0M0, ypStage IB, with a chemotherapy response graded at 2a. Although peritoneal dissemination recurred 4 months after surgery, restarting nivolumab monotherapy significantly reduced ascites, and the patient maintained a partial response.

conclusionsStage IV GAED is associated with a poor prognosis; however, the advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors has expanded treatment options for these patients. In this case, we propose a personalized treatment strategy for GAED with peritoneal metastases that may improve clinical outcomes.
