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

There is a wide variety of pancreatic neoplasms identified, but the great majority of them are of primary origin. Metastatic disease in the pancreatic parenchyma is quite rare (2-5% of pancreatic malignancies) and most often is quite difficult to differentiate from other primary lesions. Most of the imaging studies fail to give certain discriminating features for metastatic pancreatic neoplasms, contrary to endoscopic ultrasound and tissue sampling, which can provide an accurate diagnosis. In this report, we present a case of a male middle aged man who was admitted to our hospital with painless jaundice and finally was diagnosed with a cutaneous scalp melanoma dispersedly metastasized to the pancreas and upper gastrointestinal tract (stomach and duodenum).
