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

Adenocarcinoma of the small intestine is a rare malignancy with limited data available to guide therapeutic decisions. Delays in diagnosis are frequent and the majority of patients will present with advanced-stage disease and either lymph node involvement or distant metastatic disease. Furthermore, the role of adjuvant therapy in patients who undergo curative resection is unclear. Recent retrospective and prospective studies have helped to clarify the optimal chemotherapy approach for advanced small bowel adenocarcinoma. The combination of capecitabine and oxaliplatin is highly active, with a median overall survival of 15 months in patients with metastatic disease. Further clinical studies in this rare tumor type are needed. This article reviews the clinical features and evaluation of patients with small bowel adenocarcinoma and focuses on recent advances in management.
