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

Peritoneal dissemination portends a dismal prognosis in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma in the context of limited effective treatments. The underlying cellular processes that drive gastric peritoneal carcinomatosis remain unclear, limiting the application of novel targeted therapies. In this comprehensive review, we aimed to identify and summarize all existing context-dependent molecular mechanisms that have been implicated in peritoneal dissemination and peritoneal carcinomatosis establishment from primary gastric adenocarcinoma. We applied a multilevel examination including data from in vivo murine models using human gastric cancer cell lines, in vitro technique-based studies, ex vivo models, and genomic/proteomic and molecular profiling analyses to report on various aspects of gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis biology. Mechanisms promoting peritoneal dissemination were grouped into three main functional categories: (1) intrinsic cancer cell biology, (2) cancer cell-peritoneal surface adhesion, and (3) peritoneal tumor microenvironment. We identified significant overlap among the three categories, indicating a complex interplay between multiple molecular mechanisms. By interrupting these pathways, peritoneal-directed therapies have the potential to improve quality and length of life in patients with high-risk primary gastric cancer.
