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

A 74-year-old man was hospitalized for the investigation of fever and severe general fatigue. Laboratory examinations revealed severe leukocytosis, with a leukocyte count of 29 500/mm(3). Computed tomography, ultrasonography, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed a pancreatic tumor with a diameter of 70 mm. We performed distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and gastrectomy because there was invasion of the posterior wall of the stomach. The leukocyte count decreased to 16 900/mm(3) immediately following the operation, but it began to increase again a week later, ultimately reaching 213 000/mm(3). We measured the serum granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) concentration and the G-CSF expressions in the resected specimens with immunohistochemistry, the findings of which confirmed the diagnosis of G-CSF-producing pancreatic cancer. G-CSF-producing tumors are considered to be in a category of rare malignant diseases originating in various organs, which carry a poor prognosis. However, G-CSF-producing pancreatic cancer is extremely rare. On postoperative day (POD) 35, an intraabdominal recurrence was detected with marked leukocytosis, and on POD 42 the patient died without receiving postoperative cancer therapy.
