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

backgroundPancreatic cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the digestive system, and radical resection is the first choice of treatment for pancreatic cancer. If patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer cannot be treated in time and effectively, their disease often develops rapidly and their survival period is very short.

aimTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of

methodsThe demographics and perioperative outcomes of a consecutive series of patients who underwent

resultsAmong the 50 patients, there were 29 males and 21 females, with a mean age of 56.9 ± 9.8 years. The main reason for the failure of radical resection was superior mesenteric artery invasion (37, 74%), followed by superior mesenteric vein invasion (33, 66%). Twenty-one (62%) patients underwent palliative surgery and postoperative pain relief occurred in 40 (80%) patients. The estimated blood loss in operation was 107.4 ± 115.3 mL and none of the patient received blood transfusion. The postoperative hospital stay was 7.5 ± 4.2 d; one patient had biliary fistula and three had pancreatic fistula, all of whom recovered after conservative treatment. After operation, 26 patients received chemotherapy and 24 did not. The 1-year survival rate was significantly higher in patients who received chemotherapy than in those who did not (60.7%
