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

Perioperative fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and docetaxel is currently the standard chemotherapy for resectable gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas, based on the results of FLOT4 and ESOPEC trials. This regimen has demonstrated efficacy in tumor downstaging, enhancing the chances of curative resection, and ultimately improving the overall survival. However, despite these advances, the complete response rate in the perioperative setting remains below 10% to 15%, highlighting the need for more effective treatment strategies. Recent studies evaluating immunotherapy, such as the KEYNOTE-585 trial with pembrolizumab and the MATTERHORN trial with durvalumab, have shown promising preliminary results, including improved response rates and event-free survival. Nevertheless, these regimens are not yet considered the standard of care. This article explores the current landscape of perioperative treatments for gastric cancer and discusses future directions in this field.
