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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesImmunotherapy (IO) has demonstrated survival benefits in metastatic gastroesophageal cancers, and current data supports perioperative IO in localized adenocarcinomas. Radiation may further enhance IO response through immunologic priming. This study evaluates the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of incorporating IO into a chemoradiation-based perioperative strategy for resectable gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.

methodsThis single-arm, phase I/II study enrolled adults with untreated, locally advanced, resectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma between February 2019 and June 2023. The treatment protocol consisted of induction chemotherapy (oxaliplatin + 5-fluorouracil), induction IO (nivolumab + ipilimumab), concurrent immune-chemoradiation (nivolumab, 5-fluorouracil, and 45 Gy IMRT/VMAT), surgical resection, and adjuvant nivolumab for residual disease. Primary endpoints were safety and feasibility; secondary endpoints included the pathologic complete response (pCR), R0 resection rate, disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and biomarker analysis.

resultsIn total, 30 patients were enrolled, and 23 underwent resection. Grade 4 treatment-related toxicities occurred in three patients (10%), including acute kidney injury, myocarditis/myositis/myasthenia gravis overlap syndrome, and neutropenia. Among surgical patients, the pCR rate was 39.1% (95% CI: 19.7-61.5%), and the intention-to-treat pCR rate was 30% (95% CI: 14.7-49.4%). R0 resection was achieved in 87% of cases. Median DFS among resected patients was 40.2 months (95% CI: 21.6-NE). Median OS was 43.7 months (95% CI: 30.7-NE), with 2-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates of 73.3%, 57.5%, and 47.9%, respectively.

conclusionsThis multimodality approach incorporating IO with chemotherapy and chemoradiation demonstrated a manageable safety profile and an encouraging pCR rate, supporting further evaluation.
