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

Pancreatic hepatoid carcinoma (HC) is a heterogeneous tumor with high degree of malignancy and poor prognosis, which display cytological and/or structural features of focal hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). For the low incidence and atypical clinical symptoms, it is possible to be diagnosed as pancreatic cancer before operation, and mainly depending on the pathological examination. To the best of our knowledge, surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the common treatment of pancreatic HC. However, the curative effect and prognosis is poor. We report a case of 44-year-old woman with pancreatic HC treated with PD-1 receptor inhibitor and transarterial chemoembolization, whose clinical symptoms and laboratory indexes are significantly improved after treatment.
