Surgically resected undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells of the periampullary region involving the orifice of the papilla of Vater: Report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Undifferentiated carcinomas with osteoclast-like giant cells are rare periampullary neoplasms, which morphologically mimic giant cell tumors of the bone. The terminology, histogenesis, biological behavior, and chemosensitivity of these tumors, and their treatment protocol, remain controversial. We report the case of a 71-year-old man with periampullary carcinoma who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy under the diagnosis of periampullary carcinoma. Histologically, the neoplasm was composed of undifferentiated cells and evenly spaced osteoclast-like giant cells. Liver and paraaortic lymph node metastases were detected 6 months later and were treated effectively with intravenous gemcitabine. The patient remains in remission 2 years after surgery.
