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/

aimThe aim of this study was to elucidate the clinical impact of coagulation disorders on outcomes after curative resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. PATIENTS AND

methodsPreoperative coagulation activity in 135 patients, who had undergone curative resections for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was retrospectively evaluated and the impact on survival outcomes analyzed.

resultsA prolonged prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) (≥1.1) was detected in 23/135 patients (17%). Univariate analysis that showed prolonged PT-INR was associated with worse relapse-free (hazard ratio=1.79, p=0.044) and overall (hazard ratio=2.18, p=0.004) survival. Multivariate analyses showed prolonged PT-INR, large tumor (>30 mm), and lymph node metastasis were independent predictors of poor overall survival.

conclusionProlonged PT-INR may be a predictor of poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who have undergone curative resection. Coagulation disorders may be a therapeutic target for improving outcomes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
