Factors Related to Development of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis on Long-term Follow-up: A Database Study.
Article in The Permanente journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundChronic pancreatitis (CP) is a risk factor for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA). However, little is known about factors related to development of PA in CP.
objectiveTo evaluate factors associated with PA in CP.
methodsA national insurance database of 120 million US patients was used. Adults with an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) code for CP (577.1) from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 20014, were identified. Patients' age, sex, and ICD-9 codes for PA, bile duct obstruction, alcohol use, diabetes mellitus before and after diagnosis of CP, obesity, tobacco use, and type of insurance were obtained. Patients with CP without a unique identification number, missing dates for insurance coverage period, and with duration to end of follow-up or development of PA less than 2 years were excluded. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used for analysis.
resultsThe final analysis had 30,555 patients with CP including 219 patients (0.72%) with PA. The Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that in patients with CP age (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.07; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 1.03-1.1), male sex (HR = 2.1; 95% CI = 1.25-3.54), tobacco use (HR = 1.88; 95% CI = 1.1-3.23), and having commercial insurance (HR = 4.26; 95% CI = 1.63-11.11) were associated with a subsequent medical claim for PA. Duration of bile duct obstruction (HR = 0.999; 95% CI = 0.998-0.999) and presence of diabetes mellitus before CP (HR = 0.35; 95% CI = 0.19-0.63) were inversely related to subsequent diagnosis of PA.
conclusionPA was diagnosed in 0.72% of the patients with CP at least 2 years after the diagnosis of CP. Increasing age, male sex, tobacco use, having commercial insurance, absence of diabetes mellitus before CP, and shorter duration of bile duct obstruction were associated with a diagnosis of PA in patients with CP.
