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

We report a case of a male in his 50 s who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas at 30 years. He developed a liver abscess 15 years after the surgery, and CT scan revealed a swollen retroperitoneum lymph node and a tumor in the liver. Symptoms, including abdominal distension, appetite loss, and epigastric pain, appeared due to lymph node metastasis. Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration against the lymph node revealed SPN recurrence. The tumor had invaded the common hepatic artery, and surgery was not indicated. Chemotherapy of Gemcitabine/nab-Paclitaxel biweekly was performed 8 times; however, no reduction in tumor size was observed, and the patient's symptoms worsened. Proton beam therapy (67.5 GyE in 25 fractions) was subsequently performed for lymph node metastasis, and led to a gradual reduction in lymph node metastasis, and an improvement in symptoms. No re-expansion of lymph node metastasis has been observed 3 years after proton beam therapy. Since SPN is low malignancy and most cases can be expected to be cured by surgery, there is currently no standard treatment of unresectable SPN. This case is the first report of proton beam therapy for SPN, and was considered to be effective.
