Survival in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer After Neoadjuvant Therapy and Surgical Resection.
Article in Annals of surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 193 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to identify the survival of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) and assess the effect of surgical resection after neoadjuvant therapy on patient outcomes.
backgroundAn increasing number of LAPC patients who respond favorably to neoadjuvant therapy undergo surgical resection. The impact of surgery on patient survival is largely unknown. MATERIALS AND
methodsAll LAPC patients who presented to the institutional pancreatic multidisciplinary clinic (PMDC) from January 2013 to September 2017 were included in the study. Demographics and clinical data on neoadjuvant treatment and surgical resection were documented. Primary tumor resection rates after neoadjuvant therapy and overall survival (OS) were the primary study endpoints.
resultsA total of 415 LAPC patients were included in the study. Stratification of neoadjuvant therapy in FOLFIRINOX-based, gemcitabine-based, and combination of the two, and subsequent outcome comparison did not demonstrate significant differences in OS of 331 non-resected LAPC patients (P = 0.134). Eighty-four patients underwent resection of the primary tumor (20%), after a median duration of 5 months of neoadjuvant therapy. FOLFIRINOX-based therapy and stereotactic body radiation therapy correlated with increased probability of resection (P = 0.006). Resected patients had better performance status, smaller median tumor size (P = 0.029), and lower median CA19-9 values (P < 0.001) at PMDC. Patients who underwent surgical resection had significant higher median OS compared with those who did not (35.3 vs 16.3 mo, P < 0.001). The difference remained significant when non-resected patients were matched for time of neoadjuvant therapy (19.9 mo, P < 0.001).
conclusionsSurgical resection of LAPC after neoadjuvant therapy is feasible in a highly selected cohort of patients (20%) and is associated with significantly longer median overall survival.
