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

objectivesThere are few reports about the survival rate of patients with pancreatic adenosquamous cancer (PASC). This study evaluated and analyzed prognostic factors of patients with resectable pancreatic adenosquamous cancer (rPASC), which might fulfill the blank in the research of PASC.

methodsIn this study, we identified and analyzed 55 patients who were diagnosed with rPASC from January 2013 to May 2019 at the Pancreatic Disease Center of the Shanghai Ruijin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. Age, sex, BMI, tumor position, and other important demographic data were collected and analyzed. The follow-up was updated by December 31th, 2019 with a median follow-up of nine months.

resultsAmong the 55 patients, 23 (41.8%) patients were female, and the mean age was 62.0 ± 10.3 years. The median overall survival (OS) time was 10 ± 2.1 months, and the median disease-free survival (DFS) time was 4 ± 0.9 months. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates were 40.9, 17.5, and 11.6%, respectively. The multivariate analysis showed that normal serum level of Ca199 (HR = 0.464, 95% CI = 0.222-0.970, P = 0.041) and Ca125 (HR = 0.441, 95% CI = 0.233-0.835, P = 0.012) were independent favorable prognostic factors.

conclusionPatients with rPASC had poor survival. The 5-year survival rate was only 11.6%. Normal serum levels of Ca199 and Ca125 were independent favorable prognostic factors that predicted prognosis.
