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

Mixed acinar-endocrine carcinoma (MAEC) of the pancreas is a rare entity. We present a 65-year-old Chinese female who was admitted with jaundice and nagging epigastric pain with intermittent diarrhea for 1 month. She eventually underwent abdominal magnetic resonance imaging, which showed an 8×6 cm mass in the head of the pancreas and showed two abnormal lesions in the liver simultaneously. MAEC of the pancreas with synchronous hepatic metastasis was confirmed with immunohistochemistry after Whipple operation and hepatic partial resection of the lesions. Postoperative recovery of this patient was uneventful, and no evidence of recurrence or metastasis was observed after 12 months of follow-up. MAEC of pancreas is thought to be extremely rare and lack of typical clinical symptoms. The prognosis is poor overall, but early detection with complete resection may be beneficial to patients.
