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

Pancreatic cancer with bone metastasis is considered a very rare malignancy. Although the incidence rate of people with pancreatic cancer who develop bone metastasis is unknown, it is estimated as between 5% and 20%. We report a 61-year-old lady who had multiple emergency department visits complaining of lower back pain radiating to the lower limbs for five months. Clinical and imaging workup suggested pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastasis to the second lumbar vertebra (L2), lungs, and ovaries.
