Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Gemcitabine/Cisplatin/S-1 for Resectable Biliary Tract Cancer With FDG-PET-Positive Lymph Node Metastasis (KHBO1201): A Multicenter Phase II Trial.

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
purposeTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant gemcitabine, cisplatin, and S-1 (GCS) chemotherapy for resectable biliary tract cancer (BTC) and FDG-PET-positive lymph nodes in a multicenter phase II study (KHBO1201).
methodsPatients with resectable BTC (intrahepatic/extrahepatic bile duct, gallbladder, or ampullary cancers) and FDG-PET-positive lymph nodes received GCS chemotherapy: gemcitabine/cisplatin on Day 1 and oral S-1 for 7 days, repeated every 2 weeks for 3-6 cycles. Surgery was planned 4-8 weeks later if the tumor was deemed resectable. The primary endpoint was the curative resection rate. Secondary endpoints were the completion rate, radiological response, radiological/pathological complete response (CR) of FDG-PET-positive lymph nodes, and 1-year survival (UMIN000009831).
resultsTwenty-five patients were enrolled. Twenty-three (92%) completed GCS without treatment-related deaths; grade 3 biliary infection occurred in 8.0%. Curative resection was achieved in 60% with a morbidity rate of 40%. The radiological response rate was 13%, and the radiological and pathological CR rates of FDG-PET-positive lymph nodes were 24% and 28%, respectively. The 1-year survival rate was 75%.
conclusionsNeoadjuvant GCS chemotherapy is safe, feasible, and potentially effective for resectable BTC with FDG-PET-positive lymph nodes. A randomized phase III trial (JCOG1920) is underway to compare neoadjuvant GCS chemotherapy with upfront surgery (jRCTs031200388).
