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

aimThe frequency of pancreatic cancer in association with cancer of other organs ranges from 1 to 20%, with the most common ones being gastric, colon, thyroid and genitourinary. The presence of synchronous lung and pancreatic cancers is extremely rare. CASE SERIES: Two patients with extensive smoking history and variable presentations were found to have simultaneous lung and pancreatic masses both lesions being different histologically and on immunohistochemical staining. After individualized treatment plans, the first patient remains free of disease and the second patient is being treated with a palliative intent.

conclusionThe early recognition and treatment is important as there exists a significant survival difference in patients who have synchronous primaries as opposed to those with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
