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

A 75-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital to undergo the examination of an enlarged peripancreatic lymph node. Computed tomography (CT) showed a lymph node 47 mm in size that was located above the pancreas head and beneath the liver. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the enlarged lymph node was performed, and an immunohistological examination of the sample confirmed a histological diagnosis of neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). The patient refused treatment with chemotherapy and instead chose to undergo observation. However, the lymph node the previously enlarged lymph node was not visible on CT at 12 months after the examination.
