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

purposeAlthough the same distal pancreatectomy (DP) is performed regardless of the location of left-sided pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the clinicopathological features may differ depending on the tumor location. The present study investigated the relationship between the tumor location and clinicopathological features in patients with left-sided PDAC.

methodsThe records of 59 patients who underwent DP for PDAC were enrolled. The relationship between the tumor location and clinicopathological features was investigated. The tumor location was classified into three groups according to the 7th AJCC/UICC TNM classification: body (Pb), body and tail (Pbt), and tail (Pt).

resultsTumors were located at the Pb in 26 patients, Pbt in 15, and Pt in 18. There was no metastasis to the lymph nodes around the common hepatic artery in Pt. The rate of peritoneal dissemination in the Pt was higher than that in the Pb (P = 0.034) or Pbt (P = 0.002). There were no significant differences in the overall survival among the three groups.

conclusionThere was no metastasis to the lymph nodes around the common hepatic artery, and peritoneal dissemination was the most common site of recurrence in Pt tumors.
