Clinical features and prognostic factors of elderly patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer: a population-based study.
Article in Aging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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 aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features and prognostic factors of elderly patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Patients diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer between 2004 and 2014 were identified from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database. Clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in elderly patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer were examined. A total of 10784 metastatic pancreatic cancer patients between 65 and 80 years old were included and divided into three age groups. Elderly metastatic pancreatic cancer patients differed from younger patients in many aspects, including marital status, race, sex, T stage, N stage, treatment regimen, prognosis, cause of death, and metastatic characteristics (P<0.001). An analysis of prognostic factors showed that chemotherapy, as the main treatment for elderly patients, can significantly improve prognosis, while surgery can improve the prognosis of patients between 65 and 80 years old. Other factors, including sex, marital status, T stage, and site of metastasis, had different effects on patients in different age groups. Elderly patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer are a special group of individuals whose clinical characteristics and prognostic factors are different from those of younger patients, and these patients require special treatment and attention.
