Postoperative radiotherapy in periampullary cancers: a brief review.
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe treatment of periampullary cancers is complex and challenging. Adjuvant therapy for resected periampullary and pancreatic cancers has been the subject of intense clinical investigations for several decades. Periampullary cancer management has often been clubbed with pancreatic cancers. DISCUSSION: Following surgery, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy has been widely accepted as standard of care in the USA, although different prospective and retrospective studies have shown conflicting results. Controversy regarding the effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy exists in the literature, both in terms of survival as well as toxicity. However, conventional postoperative radiotherapy practice needs to be reviewed in view of changes and developments in radiation techniques in the last decade. In this article, we review the management of periampullary cancers with special emphasis on the adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy.
