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

The efficacy and safety of adding immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with potentially resectable gastric cancer (GC) are uncertain. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant ICIs plus chemotherapy in patients with potentially resectable GC. We retrospectively collected clinical data from patients with potentially resectable GC who received neoadjuvant treatment followed by gastrectomy at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from 2021 to 2023. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the differences in pathological tumor response (tumor regression grade, TRG) between neoadjuvant programmed cell death-(ligand)1 [PD-(L)1] blockade plus chemotherapy [neoadjuvant immunotherapy (IO) group] and chemotherapy alone (neoadjuvant chemotherapy group). Event-free survival (EFS) and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were also observed. A total of 220 patients were retrospectively included in the analysis, among whom 96 (43.6%) received PD-(L)1 blockade plus chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment, and 124 (56.4%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Higher pathological complete response (pCR) rate (21 of 96, 21.9% vs. 9 of 124, 7.2%,
