Exceptional Response to Second-Line Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel Chemotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 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
Pancreatic cancer is an extremely lethal malignancy with the majority of patients presenting with advanced disease. Typically, fit patients with advanced unresectable disease are treated with chemotherapy, which comprises either first-line folfirinox (FNX) or gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GNP) regimens based on level 1 evidence. To our knowledge, robust evidence for second-line GNP post FNX does not exist. We herein report four cases treated at our institute with second-line GNP. Amongst those were patients with durable responses lasting over a year, which is extremely rare in stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
