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

Pancreatic carcinoma has a poor prognosis, and early detection is essential for potentially curative resection. Despite a wide array of diagnostic tools, pre-operative detection of small pancreatic carcinomas is difficult. We report a case of pancreatic carcinoma that was bicentric and small. The head mass was diagnosed by computed tomography (CT), while the tail mass, which was suspected but indeterminate on CT, was diagnosed by positron emission tomography (PET). Thus, total pancreatectomy was performed. The PET results prevented our patient from undergoing tail mass biopsy, multiple surgeries and non-curative operation.
