Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: Prognosis and Survival.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction Pancreatic adenocarcinoma and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are inter-related. The outcomes of this association were the topic of interest of a lot of prior research in this field. The primary objective of this research is the identification of the survival rate and mortality difference between patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and T2DM and those without. Methods A retrospective observational study included 83 patients who were diagnosed and managed between 2005 and 2015 at Princess Noorah Oncology Center, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah. Patients with T2DM who were older than 18 years old and were diagnosed later with pancreatic adenocarcinoma were included. Results Out of 83 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, 86.75% (n=72) had T2DM at the time of diagnosis. The median age at diagnosis was significantly higher than in patients without T2DM (p=0.003). The overall survival was not affected by T2DM (p=0.289). However, hypertension had a significant impact on survival rate regardless of the presence of T2DM (OR, 3.47 (95% CI: 1.09-10.98)). Conclusion Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and T2DM were mostly women and aged around 60. T2DM did not have a significant effect on tumor profile. T2DM did not significantly affect survival, although other comorbidities, such as hypertension, did.
