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

backgroundUnlike other gastrointestinal tumors, lymph node involvement has not consistently been a negative prognostic factor for survival in patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma. Our aim is to examine prognostic factors in patients who underwent a curative resection of their duodenal adenocarcinoma.

methodsA retrospective review of 169 patients diagnosed with primary duodenal lesions between 1982 and 2010 was performed, of whom 103 were treated with curative intent. Clinico-pathologic factors were evaluated.

resultsA potentially curative resection was performed in 103 patients with a median age of 67 years (range, 22-91). Perineural and lympho-vascular invasion were identified in 30 (29.1%) and 39 patients (37.9%), respectively. Median follow-up was 26.5 months. The 5-year overall survival was 62% vs. 25% for patients with or without nodal metastases (p < 0.001) and 56% vs. 19% for patients with or without perineural invasion (p < 0.001), respectively. Lymph node ratio, type of resection, and size of tumor failed to stratify prognosis. By multivariate analysis, perineural invasion was the most powerful independent predictor of survival (HR, 2.520; CI, 1.361-4.664).

conclusionsPerineural invasion is a stronger predictor for recurrence and survival than tumor size, depth of infiltration, lymph node involvement, and type of resection in patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma.
