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

purposeTo clarify the clinical features of cancer in the pancreatic remnant.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical and pathological findings of 10 patients who developed remnant pancreatic cancer in our hospital between 2002 and 2012. The KRAS sequences in both the initial pancreatic tumor and remnant pancreatic cancer were examined in two patients.

resultsEight patients underwent a second pancreatectomy for remnant pancreatic cancer (resected group), while two patients were not operated on and underwent chemotherapy (unresected group). The remnant pancreatic cancer developed at the cut end of the pancreas (pancreaticogastrostomy site) in four patients. In the resected group, four patients died 17 months after the emergence of the remnant pancreatic cancer and four patients survived during the median 40.5-month observation period. The median survival of the unresected group after the emergence of the remnant pancreatic cancer was 10 months. The findings of the KRAS sequencing and immunohistological staining of the remnant pancreatic cancer for MUC1 and MUC2 in the two patients were consistent with those of the initial pancreatic tumor in one patient, and not consistent in the other.

conclusionsOur results suggest that both local recurrence and a new primary cancer can develop in the pancreatic remnant, and repeated pancreatectomy can prolong survival.
