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

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal disease with increasing incidence and mortality. More than half of PDAC patients develop metastases, with the liver being the most common site. Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with liver metastases (PCLM) have a very limited scope for surgery due to aggressive tumor behavior and poor prognosis. However, with the improvements in preoperative systemic therapy and perioperative outcomes, an increasing number of patients are being considered for surgical management. However, the best choice of surgical treatment and criteria for selecting suitable PCLM patients who may benefit from surgical treatment remains controversial. Palliative local treatments, such as ablation, locoregional chemotherapy, and brachytherapy, which are less invasive and have fewer contraindications and complications, are the preferred alternatives to surgery. The present study reviews the advances in the management of PCLM, with focus on resection and local therapies.
