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

The objective was to investigate the diagnosis and related clinical criteria of undifferentiated carcinoma of the pancreas with osteoid giant cells, and to analyze its treatment and prognosis. we report a case of this disease in a A 62 year old male, who had upper left abdominal pain for more than 10 days, had pain that was aggravated 1 day prior to visit. The pancreas showed a mass with volume 10 cm × 8 cm × 6 cm. On cut section, the mass was fish-fleshy like and necrotic with hemorrhage, and had a close relationship to the residual pancreatic tail. Microscopically, tumor was clearly found around osteoclastic giant cells, and tumor cells invaded the colon and spleen. This is a rare pancreatic tumor with no specific clinical manifestation or serologic marker, composed of undifferentiated osteoid giant cells. Rarely, patients may havelymph node metastasis. The diagnosis should rely on imaging data such as CT and MRI combined with immunohistochemistry. The treatment can be surgical resection, but the prognosis is poor.
