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 cancer remains the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the USA with a 5-year survival rate of 5 %. The effects of epidermal growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor A blockade with chemotherapy on pancreatic tumor growth were examined. Mice bearing human PANC-1 cell xenografts were divided into three groups: T-CR (gemcitabine, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil), T-TR (cetuximab, bevacizumab, gemcitabine, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil), and vehicle control (T). The therapies were administered via intraperitoneal injections every 4 days for seven cycles from 7 weeks after cancer cell implantation. Mice treated with T-TR had significant reductions in tumor weight as compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Although mice in the T-CR group experienced a significant reduction in body weight gain, serum albumin, and gastrocnemius muscle mass (p < 0.05), no such reductions were observed in the T-TR group. Mice treated with T-TR had slightly increased CD11c
