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

The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic factors of carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater (CAV) after surgery. The clinicopathological factors related to the recurrence and prognosis of 162 CAV patients after surgical resection were retrospectively analyzed using univariate and multivariate methods. The in-hospital mortality rate was 4.32 % and the 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival of the 162 subjects were 55.1 and 51.7 %, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that an advanced T stage (P = 0.002), lymph nodal metastasis (P = 0.002), poor differentiation (P = 0.006), tumor size (P = 0.033), tumor stage (P = 0.001), carbohydrate antigen (CA) 199 serum levels (P = 0.000), pancreatic invasion (P = 0.001), chemotherapy/radiation therapy (P = 0.006), and jaundice (P = 0.012) were factors that significantly affected the prognosis of CAV. Multivariate analysis showed that the pancreatic invasion (P = 0.009), lymph nodal metastasis (P = 0.009), and increased CA199 serum level (P = 0.001) were independent risk factors of recurrence. The pancreatic invasion, lymph nodal metastasis, and increased CA199 serum level are key prognostic factors of CAV after surgery.
