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

purpose of reviewIndividuals who have an increased risk for pancreatic cancer (PC) due to personal or family history may benefit from surveillance of the pancreas to increase the likelihood of early detection. This review explores current indications for PC surveillance, as well as options for surveillance modality and timing, and data regarding surveillance outcomes. RECENT

findingsRecently published data suggests that individuals undergoing surveillance who develop PC are more likely to be diagnosed with resectable disease, which improves survival. Several professional organizations have published guidelines for surveillance to help define who should have surveillance, when surveillance should be performed, and how it can be accomplished. PC surveillance should be considered for individuals with a pathogenic variant in a PC-related gene who have an affected first- or second-degree relative and for individuals in a familial pancreatic cancer family who have an affected first-degree relative. Surveillance should begin at age 50, or 10 years before the earliest age of PC diagnosis in the family. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or MRI/MRCP are both reasonable surveillance options, but EUS may be better at detecting small solid changes in the pancreas. Ideally, surveillance should be performed at expert centers in conjunction with research protocols.
