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

Serial pancreatic juice aspiration cytologic examination (SPACE) by nasopancreatic tube placement can give us an opportunity to diagnose early-stage pancreatic cancer with higher sensitivity and specificity compared with conventional pancreatic cytology by one-time pancreatic juice aspiration or pancreatic duct brushing. We performed SPACE in a patient with persistent pancreatic duct stricture (PDS) with gradually advancing pancreatic parenchyma atrophy (PPA) in the pancreas tail. The result of SPACE was suggestive of pancreatic carcinoma, and distal pancreatectomy was performed. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed carcinoma in situ of the pancreas. The present case could indicate that any PDS becomes a candidate for SPACE especially in a patient with PPA, although the PDS remains unchanged for a long period.
