Paraspinal radiation recall myositis after gemcitabine for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Radiation recall (RR) is a chemotherapy-induced reaction that leads to inflammation and necrosis in previously irradiated tissue. Gemcitabine is a cytidine analogue that is often used in conjunction with nab-paclitaxel in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Herein, we present a case of a 56-year-old woman with stage III pancreatic adenocarcinoma diagnosed with gemcitabine-induced RR when she presented with lower back pain and new rim-enhancing collections within the right and left paraspinal musculature 5 months after radiation therapy to the pancreas. A PubMed search was performed for 'Radiation Recall Myositis' and a complete literature review performed. This case and review of the literature of published cases of RR myositis highlight the clinical course and presentation of RR myositis. This review highlights the importance of considering RR in the differential diagnosis when patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation present with inflammatory changes in previously irradiated areas.
