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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the Modified Ryan Tumor Regression Score (TRG) in predicting overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) among patients with locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinomas treated with neoadjuvant FLOT chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel). We aimed to evaluate whether the modified Ryan TRG independently predicts DFS and OS in a homogeneous FLOT-treated cohort. MATERIALS AND

methodsPatients with locally advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinomas who received neoadjuvant FLOT and underwent curative surgery were retrospectively reviewed. The Modified Ryan TRG was categorized into four grades (0-3) according to the proportion of residual viable tumor cells.

resultsA total of 154 patients were included in the analysis. Among all patients, 26.6% achieved a good pathological response (TRG 0-1), 24.7% had a partial response (TRG 2), and 48.7% showed minimal or no response (TRG 3). Median DFS and OS were not reached in the TRG 0-1 group, whereas they were 16.1 and 29.9 months, respectively, in the TRG 3 group (p < 0.001). Lower TRG (0-1) independently predicted improved DFS (HR = 0.07, p < 0.001) and OS (HR = 0.10, p = 0.002).

conclusionThe Modified Ryan Tumor Regression Score represents a strong and independent prognostic indicator in patients with locally advanced gastric and GEJ adenocarcinomas treated with the FLOT regimen. Patients with low TRG (0-1) scores exhibit superior survival outcomes, while those with high TRG (3) scores may benefit from closer follow-up and intensified adjuvant strategies. Prospective studies are warranted to validate TRG-based individualized treatment approaches.
