Review in Therapeutic advances in medical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the US. Outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer are poor as curative approaches are only available to the minority of patients who have localized tumors for which surgery may be an option. The past decade has established fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) as the new standard of care following resection for fit patients with resectable pancreatic tumors. However, most patients will relapse and a large number of patients treated with upfront resection are unable to receive or complete adjuvant chemotherapy. There is therefore considerable interest in neoadjuvant treatment strategies for patients with resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer as a way to provide early systemic treatment of micrometastatic disease, facilitate lymph node downstaging, and increase the likelihood of negative resection margins (R0). This review will focus on key aspects of completed trials evaluating adjuvant therapy in resectable pancreatic cancer and will provide an overview of emerging evidence supporting the use of neoadjuvant treatment strategies for both resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer.
