Review in World journal of clinical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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

In spite of recent diagnostic and therapeutic advances, the prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains very poor. As most patients are not amenable to curative intent treatments, optimized palliative management is highly needed. One key question is to what extent promising results produced by randomized controlled trials (RCTs) correspond to clinically meaningful outcomes in patients treated outside the strict frames of a clinical trial. To answer such questions, real-world evidence is necessary. The present paper reviews and discusses the current literature on first- and second-line palliative chemotherapy in PDAC. Notably, a growing number of studies report that the outcomes of the two predominant first-line multidrug regimens,
