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

Objective: To explore the bi-directional between pancreatic cancer (PC) and diabetes mellitus (DM); focusing on the prevalence, temporal association and impact on survival outcomes. Methods: A retrospective audit of pancreatic cancer patients from the institutional clinical database (CaNISC) between January 2012 and April 2018. Results: A total of 131 patients were analysed, 58 patients carried a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. The median overall survival for diabetes mellitus patients was 12.0 months (95 CI, 5.9 to 18.1 months) in comparison to 13.0 months (95% CI, 8.6 to 17.3 months) in non-diabetes mellitus patients ( Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the overall survival between DM and non-DM patients.
