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

BACKGROUNDS/

aimsBecause of low incidence rates, there have been few reports on the patterns of and risk factors for recurrence after curative resection of the ampulla of Vater (AoV) cancer. The aim of this study was to characterize patterns of recurrence and to evaluate risk factors affecting survival rates and recurrence after curative resection.

methodsMedical records of 181 patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy with curative intent for AoV adenocarcinoma between December 1994 and March 2010 at Samsung Medical Center were retrospectively reviewed. Factors influencing on overall survival rate, recurrence rates, and recurrence patterns were analyzed.

resultsLymph node metastases and high preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level >5 ng/ml were identified as independent factors affecting overall survival (p=0.006, p<0.001, respectively). Among the 181 patients, 69 developed local or distant recurrence within 3 years after curative resection. Lymph node metastasis, preoperative serum CEA level >5 ng/ml, and total bilirubin level >1.5 mg/dl were identified as independent prognostic factors of recurrence after curative resection (p=0.008, p<0.001, p=0.003, respectively).

conclusionsAoV adenocarcinoma has a better prognosis than other periampullary carcinomas, but still has a high recurrence rate, especially during the first three years after curative radical resection. Therefore, careful follow-up is needed during the first 3 years, especially for the higher risk group. Further study of adjuvant therapy to decrease recurrence after curative resection is now warranted.
