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

aimTo evaluate the changes in the 8

methodsPancreatic cancer patients were selected from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database (1973-2013). The enrolled patients were divided into IB and IIA groups based on tumor size according to the 8

resultsA total of 1349 pancreatic cancer patients were included. More patients had stage IB rather than stage IIA. Stage IB tumors (54.85%) were mainly located in the head of the pancreas, while stage IIA tumors were more often located in the tail and head of the pancreas (35.21% and 31.75%, respectively). The survival time of stage IB and IIA patients had no significant difference. Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that the prognostic factors of survival for stage IB and IIA patients were different. For stage IB patients, age and primary site were the independent prognostic factors; for stage IIA patients, age and grade were the independent prognostic factors. The risk of death was lower among patients aged ≤ 65 years than those aged > 65 years.

conclusionThe prognostic factors for stage IB and IIA patients are different, but age is the independent prognostic factor for all patients. The survival time of stage IB and IIA patients has no significant difference.
