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

As a result of recent advances in diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities, the number of patients diagnosed with multiple primary malignancies has been increasing. We report the case of a 79-year-old male with multiple primary malignancies of three histological types in six different organs: Stomach, prostate, colon, urinary bladder, facial skin and pancreas, in chronological order. The first malignancy was upper gastric cancer diagnosed in 1998. The second and third malignancies were prostate cancer and ascending colon cancer, which were diagnosed in 2010. The fourth malignancy was bladder cancer diagnosed in 2011. The fifth and sixth malignancies were squamous cell skin cancer of the right cheek and intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC), respectively, diagnosed in 2014. The gastric cancer, colon cancer, bladder cancer, skin cancer and IPMC were surgically resected. The prostate cancer was treated by anti-androgen therapy. The patient died of local recurrence of IPMC in August 2016. Although multiple primary malignancies are not uncommon, diagnosis of six primary malignancies in a single patient, as reported in the present study, is extremely rare. It is important to understand the characteristics of multiple primary malignancies in order to administer suitable treatment and determine relevant follow-up plans for patients with cancer.
