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

BACKGROUND/

aimLocally advanced pancreatic head cancer remains an aggressive malignancy with a low likelihood of achieving resectability after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Resection is even more difficult if anatomical variations of the blood supply are present. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 62-year-old male diagnosed with locally advanced pancreatic cancer in the presence of an aberrant right hepatic artery originating from the superior mesenteric artery. After completing six cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of irinotecan and oxaliplatin, resectability was achieved, the patient being submitted to pancreatoduodenectomy. Intraoperatively, the presence of an aberrant right hepatic artery originating from the superior mesenteric artery was confirmed. The postoperative course was uneventful, the patient being discharged on the eight postoperative day, while the histopathological studies confirmed the negativity of the resection margins.

conclusionResectability can be achieved after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. However, attention should be focused on the possibility of the presence of anatomical variations of the pancreatic and liver blood supply.
