Complete resection of a huge pancreatic undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells.
Article in International cancer conference journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pancreatic undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells (PUC-OGC) is a rare neoplasm. We report a case of rapidly advancing PUC-OGC. A 54-year-old man had elevated tumor marker levels. Abdominal computed tomography showed a cystic mass in the body and tail of the pancreas, which infiltrated adjacent organs. The tumor exhibited rapid growth (doubling time: 39 days) but no metastases. We diagnosed PUC-OGC clinically and excised the pancreatic body and tail along with the spleen, left kidney, adrenal gland, and transverse colon. Pathological diagnosis showed histology consistent with PUC-OGC and a negative margin without nodal involvement despite the tumor being 28 cm in maximum diameter and having invaded the left kidney. The patient survived a year with a recurrence of liver metastasis after the initial surgery due to the partial hepatectomy and chemotherapy. Complete resection might be a good strategy to cure PUC-OGC in this case.
