Treatment of Rare and Aggressive Pancreatic Carcinosarcoma.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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
A 42-year-old African American woman presented with 4 days of worsening midepigastric pain that radiated to her back. Computed tomography confirmed a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and revealed a mass within the distal body and tail of the pancreas. After an endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration yielding atypical cells suspicious for adenocarcinoma, the patient underwent an en bloc resection of the intra-abdominal mass with subtotal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, left colectomy, and left partial adrenalectomy. Histopathologic examination findings, in addition to immunohistochemical staining, revealed a diagnosis of pancreatic carcinosarcoma. Postoperatively, the patient has undergone 20 cycles of chemotherapy and has been transitioned to comfort measures at 16 months postoperatively because of progressive disease.
