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

backgroundAn important step in deciding the treatment strategy for pancreatic cancer is to preoperatively predict the possibility of early recurrence. We reviewed whether 18[F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) before pancreatic cancer resection could predict tumor recurrence in the early postoperative period.

methodsFDG-PET/CT was performed preoperatively on 56 patients with pancreatic cancer. The maximum standardized uptake (SUV(max)) values obtained by FDG-PET/CT were compared between two groups: patients with and without recurrence within the first 6 postoperative months. SUV(max) analyses were also performed to determine whether age, sex, CA 19-9 values, the operative method, and portal vein resection were also predictive of recurrence within less than 6 months after tumor resection.

resultsThe median SUV(max) values of the recurrence group and no-recurrence group were 7.9 and 4.2, respectively (P = 0.0042). The SUV(max) was the only risk factor for recurrence in the first 6 postoperative months identified by multivariate analysis (P = 0.0062).

conclusionsPreoperative SUV(max) was higher in the recurrence group during the early postoperative period, and a high SUV(max) was a risk factor for early postoperative recurrence. Based on these results, we conclude that FDG-PET/CT is predictive of the recurrence of pancreatic cancer in the early postoperative period.
