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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivePrevious studies indicated cancer survivors had a higher risk of developing subsequent pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. However, the influence of prior cancer on survival outcomes of current pancreatic cancer remains unclear.

methodsEligible populations were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results programs from 2000 to 2012. We adopted Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox analysis to compare survival differences between patients with and without prior cancer.

resultsOverall, 67,555 pancreatic cancer patients, including 5582 (8.26%) with and 61,973 (91.74%) without prior cancer, were included. The most common types of prior cancers were prostate, breast, and colorectal cancers. The median time from diagnosis of an initial malignancy to subsequent pancreatic cancer was 59.8 months. Patients with a prior cancer had higher overall one-year and three-year survival rates compared with those without a prior cancer. Multivariable Cox analysis demonstrated that a history of prior malignancy could independently predict the better overall survival outcome of pancreatic cancer (HR = 0.92, 95% CI, 0.89-0.94,

conclusionsA history of cancer did not contribute to a poor survival outcome for patients with pancreatic cancer. More prospective trials might be warranted to validate our findings.
