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

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the Western world. The current treatment is multimodal, and in resectable patients radical surgery represents the key-step toward long-term survival. Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the most widely performed operation, because the majority of ductal carcinomas arise in the head of the pancreas. Once considered extremely hazardous, PD has evolved into a safe procedure, with mortality below 5% and morbidity rates in the range from 20% to 60% at high-volume centers. Verona is regarded as one of the most prominent institutions for pancreatic surgery in Europe. More than 5500 patients with pancreatic diseases have been managed, and the surgical case load has increased substantially, with more than 1350 PDs performed. This review discusses this center's experience in surgical treatment of pancreatic head cancer. Furthermore, the preliminary results of radiofrequency thermal ablation of locally advanced ductal cancer are presented.
