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

aimTo investigate the prognostic significance of pretreatment standardized maximum uptake value (SUVmax) and serum carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9 in pancreatic cancer.

methodsFrom January 2007 to October 2011, 80 consecutive patients with pancreatic cancer who received positron emission/computed tomography before any treatment were enrolled in this study. The pretreatment SUVmax and CA19-9 level of the primary pancreatic tumor were obtained and compared with clinicopathological and prognostic factors. Student's t test for unpaired data was used to analyze the differences between two groups. Univariate analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to examine the independent effects of each significant variable. Survival was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method.

resultsThere was a significant correlation between both the SUVmax and serum CA19-9 of pancreatic cancer and R0 surgical resection (P = 0.043 and P = 0.007). Lymph node metastasis was associated with SUVmax (P = 0.017), but not serum CA19-9 (P = 0.172). On the contrary, the tumor stage was significantly related to serum CA19-9 (P = 0.035), but not SUVmax (P = 0.110). The univariate analysis showed that survival time was significantly related to tumor stage (P < 0.001), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.043), R0 surgical resection (P < 0.001), serum CA19-9 (P = 0.001), SUVmax (P < 0.001) and SUVmax plus CA19-9 (P = 0.002). Multivariate analysis clearly showed that only tumor stage (hazard ratio = 0.452; P = 0.020) was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in pancreatic cancer. Higher SUVmax or CA19-9 showed worse prognosis. We found that high serum CA19-9 plus SUVmax was the most significant variable.

conclusionHigher pretreatment SUVmax and serum CA19-9 indicates poor prognosis. SUVmax plus serum CA19-9 is the most significant variable in predicting survival.
