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

purposeTo investigate the safety and feasibility of endovascular brachytherapy using iodine-125 ( MATERIAL AND

methodsFrom January 2010 to January 2015, 12 patients diagnosed with locally advanced, inoperable PDAC with splenic or superior mesenteric vein invasion were enrolled in the present study and received endovascular brachytherapy combined with regional intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy. Standardized software was used for dose calculation. Procedure-related and radiation complications were documented and assessed. Overall survival was calculated with the Kaplan-Meier approach.
