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

Pancreatic cancer is a frequent cause of cancer-related mortality and has an extremely poor prognosis. To evaluate the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic SCT with reduced-intensity conditioning (RICT) against pancreatic cancer, we analyzed the clinical data of 22 patients. After a fludarabine-based conditioning regimen followed by the infusion of PBSCs, all but two achieved engraftment. Complete, partial and minor response was observed in 1, 2 and 2 patients, respectively, with an overall response rate of 23%. Median survival was only 139 days and the major cause of death was tumor progression. Poor performance status before RICT and a lower number of infused CD34-positive cells were associated with shorter survival after RICT. Patients who developed chronic GVHD tended to survive longer than those who did not. These findings support the investigation of a novel treatment strategy to enhance the immunological effect against pancreatic cancer.
