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

objectiveConversion of normal cells to cancer cells is often accompanied by abnormal synthesis of serum enzymes. Both alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) have been reported to have prognostic value in a variety of malignancies. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative serum ALP and LDH levels on the prognosis of patients with periampullary carcinoma who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).

methodsAccording to the preoperative ALP or LDH values, 856 cancer patients receiving PD treatment from January 2001 to January 2019 were divided into high-ALP group and low-ALP group or high-LDH group and low-LDH group. Statistical analysis was carried out to study the differences between the high-ALP and low-ALP groups or the high-LDH and low-LDH groups. Furthermore, the possibility of preoperative ALP or LDH as prognostic factor of periampullary carcinoma was investigated.

resultsIn both the high-ALP and the high-LDH groups, the prognosis of patients with periampullary carcinoma who underwent PD was worse than that of the low-ALP and low- LDH group. Even through risk factor analysis, it was found that preoperative ALP and LDH could be independent prognostic factor for patients with periampullary carcinoma who underwent PD.

conclusionPreoperative ALP or LDH is an independent risk factor for periampullary carcinoma.
