Advances in Radiotherapy and Chemoradiotherapy for the Treatment of Gastric Cancer (2014-2023): A Scientometric Approach.

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
Background: Approximately 1,000,000 cases and 769,000 deaths from gastric cancer (GC) occurred in 2020, making it the fourth most prevalent reason for cancer-related fatalities. The objective of this study was to examine the use of radiation therapy (RT) and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in GC using a quantitative and scientometric method. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in the Scopus database for articles on RT and CRT in GC from 2014 to 2023. We utilized the VOSviewer tool for a scientometric analysis covering various aspects such as countries, institutions, authors, journals, references, and keywords. Results: The study incorporated 15,036 articles related to the subject. China emerged as the top contributor, with the United States and Japan following. A significant positive correlation was found between the article output of countries on RT and CRT in GC and gross domestic product (GDP) and total wealth index, with correlation coefficients of 0.749 and 0.6921, respectively ( Conclusion: This pioneering scientometric study provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on RT and CRT about GC, evaluating the scholarly output in this field over the past decade. It can be concluded that this research topic has gained significant attention since 2016. While international collaborations are taking place worldwide, there is a need for more support and the expansion of research on RT and CRT in GC, especially in less developed countries. This study provides support to healthcare practitioners, researchers, and surgical aides regarding the global outcomes of RT and CRT in GC investigations.
