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

backgroundSquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in pancreas and stomach is a rare histologic subtype with aggressive behavior, poor prognosis, and no standardized therapy. Pancreatic SCC or gastric SCC has been previously reported. However, case of SCC occurring in both the pancreas and the stomach has not been reported yet. CASE SUMMARY: A 75-year-old female with prior history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus visited our hospital with complaint of abdominal pain that started three months ago. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen showed 3.3 cm mass at the distal pancreas. She received surgical resection which was histologically found to be SCC of the pancreas with clear resection margins. After she was discharged, she no longer visited the hospital. Three years later, she was referred to our hospital after showing abnormal findings on a gastroscopy performed at another hospital. Gastroscopy revealed a single, 2cm sized, ill-defined irregular flat and hyperemic mass at high body. Histologic finding of the mass was SCC. CT scan and positive emission tomography CT showed metastatic lesions to the liver and the peritoneum. She received combination chemotherapy with capecitabine and oxaliplatin. However, she passed away 6 mo after diagnosis of gastric SCC.

conclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of metachronous SCC of stomach occurring after diagnosis of pancreatic SCC.
