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
purposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between bone mineral density (BMD) and other body composition markers, as well as, the impact of preoperative BMD on the surgical outcomes after resection of pancreatic cancer.
methodsThis retrospective study included 275 patients who underwent surgical resection of pancreatic cancer in our institute between 2003 and 2016. Patients were divided according to BMD into low and normal groups and their postoperative outcomes were compared. Risk factors for mortality and tumor recurrence were also evaluated.
resultsPatients with low BMD were older (P < 0.001), had a higher intramuscular adipose tissue content (P = 0.011) and higher visceral fat area (P = 0.003). The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) (grade ≥ B) was higher in the low BMD group. No significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding overall survival and recurrence-free survival and low BMD was not a risk factor for mortality or tumor recurrence after resection of pancreatic cancer.
conclusionA low preoperative BMD was not found to be a risk factor for mortality or tumor recurrence after resection of pancreatic cancer; however, it was associated with a higher incidence of clinically relevant POPF.
