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

We report a case of anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas with production of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in a 59-year-old male. He was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of epigastralgia and suffered from leukocytosis. Differential diagnosis included pancreatic tumors and submucosal tumor of the stomach, but definite preoperative diagnosis could not be made. He underwent distal pancreactomy, total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction and splenectomy. He recovered uneventfully postoperatively and was discharged from hospital on the 14th postoperative day. Histological examination showed anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas. Since the peripheral leukocyte count was sharply decreased after the operation, we suspected the tumor would be producing G-CSF. Then immunohistochemistry showed a positive stain in the tumor. Therefore, we diagnosed the tumor as anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas producing G-CSF. Three months after the resection, local recurrence was detected by abdominal computed tomography. The patient died of hemorrhagic shock due to tumor invasion of the intestine 8 months after the operation.
