Epidemiology and risk factors for exocrine pancreatic cancer in a Northern African population.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 etiology of pancreatic cancer remains largely unknown. Although epidemiological studies have reported that many environmental factors may contribute to the development of pancreatic cancer, only age and cigarette smoking have been established as consistent risk factors for the disease.
objectiveStudying the biological clinical and histological features of patients with pancreatic cancer in order to assess the possible risk factors for pancreatic cancer in a North African population.
methodsAn epidemiological retrospective descriptive study has been performed at the level of surgery department of the university hospital of Sidi bel Abbes region, western Algeria, from 2007 to 2013.
resultsA total of 87 patients were diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas (55 males and 32 females) with a mean age of 63.1 years, ranging from 16 to 96 years old, and a sex ratio of 1.71. In 92 % of cases, pancreatic tumors were located at the head of the pancreas; the most predominant histological type was the adenocarcinoma; cigarette smokers represented the rate of 24.3 % and alcoholics 13.5 %. The most recorded disease among patients medical history was diabetes mellitus (25.28 %). About 35.63 % was the prominent rate of patients who underwent cholecystectomy and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after an average duration of 5.23 years. Our patients were mostly diagnosed with cancer at M1 and T3 stages.
conclusionAccording to our results, cholecystectomy could possibly be a risk factor for pancreatic cancer in Algerian population.
