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

We present a 72-yr-old woman who underwent surgical resection of a large pancreatic tumor. On preoperative imaging, an intratumoral cavity containing necrotic tissue was noted, mimicking the appearance of a cystic tumor. There was no invasion of adjacent organs nor distant metastasis, and histopathologic examination revealed the tumor to be a giant cell carcinoma. Postoperatively, the patient has been followed for 1.5 yr without evidence of recurrence. Giant cell carcinoma generally is associated with a poor prognosis, and patients usually die within months despite intensive multimodality therapy. Some patients with giant cell carcinomas, however, achieve long-term survival when invasion of adjacent organs and distant metastases are absent. Surgical resection is the appropriate treatment for tumors with these favorable characteristics.
