Article in Journal of radiation oncology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer continues to have a grim prognosis with 5-year survival rates at less than 5 %. It is a particularly challenging health problem given these poor survival outcomes, aggressive tumor biology, and late onset of symptoms. Most patients present with advanced unresectable cancer however, margin-negative resection provides a rare chance for cure for patients with resectable disease. The standard imaging modality for the diagnosis and management of pancreatic cancer is contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography. Remarkable advances in CT technology have led to improvements in the ability to detect small tumors and intricate vasculature involvement by the tumor, yet CT is still restricted to providing a morphological portrait of the tumor. Diagnosis can be challenging due to similar appearance of certain benign and malignant disease. Distant metastatic disease can be silent on CT leading to improper staging, and thus management, of certain patients. Furthermore, radiation-induced fibrosis and necrosis complicate assessment of treatment response by CT alone. F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (
