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

backgroundTo investigate racial disparities among unresectable/metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) patients treated with contemporary chemotherapy regimens at an urban center.

methodsRetrospective review of all PDA patients treated at a single institution between 2012-2017. Continuous and categorical variables were tested using

resultsOne hundred and forty-five patients identified as: White [69], African American (AA, 34), Asian [15], and Other [27]. Fifty-five-point-seven percent of patients received gemcitabine-based therapy

conclusionsIn this series of advanced PDA patients treated with contemporary chemotherapy, AA and White patients had comparable outcomes, but Asians had worse OS than White patients.
