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

Background: S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) is a first-line standard-of-care treatment for patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors plus chemotherapy, including SOX have also shown promising outcomes in such patients. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab plus SOX sequenced by camrelizumab-based maintenance therapy as a first-line treatment for advanced G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. Methods: In total, 31 patients with an age of 18 years or older and newly diagnosed with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced G/GEJ adenocarcinoma who underwent camrelizumab in combination with SOX followed by camrelizumab plus S-1 from February 2020 to December 2023 were enrolled in the study. All patients were regularly followed up every 1-2 months. The primary endpoint of the study was progression-free survival (PFS). And the safety profiles were also assessed. Results: As of December 31, 2023, 25 male and 6 female patients were enrolled. The median follow-up time was 14.6 months. The median PFS time of the patients treated with the combination regimen was 7.3 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.0-11.6]. In addition, the median overall survival (OS) time was 13.3 months (95% CI: 10.3-16.4), and the median duration of response (DoR) was 5.0 months (95% CI: 2.0-8.1). Moreover, the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 71.0% and 87.1%, respectively. Further, the most commonly observed grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) (9.7%) and a decreased neutrophil count (6.5%). No treatment-related deaths occurred. Conclusions: First-line treatment with camrelizumab in combination with SOX sequenced by camrelizumab-based maintenance therapy demonstrated favorable outcomes for and was well tolerated by patients with advanced G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. Thus, it might serve as a first-line standard-of-care treatment for such patients. However, prospective randomized studies should be carried out to confirm the findings.
