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

An 85-year-old woman presented to the emergency department for evaluation of gradually worsening upper back pain of 3 weeks' duration. Her pain radiated down her right arm and was associated with right arm weakness. She reported visiting pain medicine specialists who administered steroid and lidocaine injections, which failed to improve her symptoms. Initial CT of her chest revealed a large lytic lesion within her posterior right fourth rib extending into her T4 vertebral body. The primary malignancy, a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas, was later found on a CT of the abdomen. The patient was also found to have multiple pulmonary, hepatic and lymphatic metastases from the pancreatic primary tumour.
