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

This study aimed to explore the geographic distribution and risk clusters of pancreatic cancer mortality from 2011 to 2013 in Shandong, China, and to detect the differences between urban and rural areas. Our data were obtained from the Shandong Death Registration System (SDRS) and were adjusted according to the underreporting level. The distribution of mortality was displayed with GIS-based maps at the county level. The results showed an increasing trend in pancreatic cancer mortality from the western region to the eastern region of Shandong. Additionally, four significant risk clusters were detected, and the most likely cluster was focused in the northeastern and northern regions. Urban-rural differences in the mortality distribution and risk clusters were also detected. In conclusion, our study identified pancreatic cancer mortality clusters in Shandong in urban and rural areas; these results can contribute to the development of effective and targeted strategies to control pancreatic cancer in different areas.
