The role of preoperative biopsy in pancreatic cancer.
Article in HPB : the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
backgroundCyto-histological diagnosis of pancreatic pathology in the management of suspected pancreatic malignancy is re-evaluated in the light of evolving trends in management and tissue sampling.
methodsThe literature on cyto-histological diagnosis of pancreatic pathology was reviewed over the period 1977-2003. RESULTS AND
conclusionEndoluminal techniques of tissue sampling carry less risk of tumour seeding and are the sampling methods of choice for potentially resectable lesions if a tissue diagnosis will alter therapy. Endosonar-guided biopsy in expert hands appears to be the most reliable tissue sampling technique. Transcoelomic sampling methods should be reserved for those with un-resectable disease. All methods of cyto-histological diagnosis have high specificity but have a low negative predictive value. Therefore, potentially resectable lesions that are highly suspicious for malignancy should be explored even if pre-operative histology or cytology is negative.
