Review in Surgery today, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03340844 (Role of Circulating Tumor Cells), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

The rate of recurrence, including liver metastasis is high in pancreatic cancer, even when complete surgical resection is performed as a curative treatment. In patients with pancreatic cancer, the handling and grasping of the pancreas during surgery may increase the risk of liver metastasis, as squeezing may spread cancer cells via the portal vein. A no-touch isolation technique might prevent the spread of cancer cells via the hematogenous metastatic route in patients with pancreatic cancer. However, while no-touch isolation techniques are simple, feasible and, in theory, ideal procedures for the surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer, there have been no randomized controlled prospective studies to validate their advantages and their efficacy remains controversial. It is, therefore, worth investigating the use of no-touch isolation techniques in pancreatic cancer.
