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

The patient was a 75-year-old asymptomatic man, in whom a tumor mass in the pancreatic tail had been found 6 months earlier. Computed tomography revealed a mass 7 cm in diameter, and an enhancement with contrast medium was observed at the periphery and partially inside the mass, but not in most parts of the tumor. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed a filling defect in the main pancreatic duct. A distal pancreatectomy was performed because of the possibility of a malignant tumor. The tumor consisted of a lobular invasive growth component and a component with intraductal growth into the main pancreatic duct, and histologically the tumor cells had solid acinar to partially trabecular/tubular patterns. Trypsin (an acinic cell marker) expression was widely observed, followed by the expression of chromogranin A (an endocrine cell marker) in about 30% of the tumor cells. The tumor was diagnosed as mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma according to the WHO classification.
