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

backgroundThe prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) have been useful for predicting the prognosis based on nutritional condition and comorbidities in surgery and endoscopic mucosal dissection. The age-adjusted CCI (ACCI) has also been reported to be useful in surgery, but it has not been applied to endoscopic treatment. We therefore clarified the prognostic factors associated with ampullary tumors treated with endoscopic papillectomy (EP).

methodsFrom January 2003 to December 2020, 236 patients who underwent EP for sporadic ampullary tumors at Nagoya University Hospital were included in this study. The 5-year survival and ability to predict the prognosis were evaluated in terms of the sex, PNI, ACCI, final pathological diagnosis, and intraductal extension.

resultsDuring a median follow-up period of 1558 days, 17 patients died. No patient died of the primary disease. The 5-year survival rate was 91.1%. In a univariate analysis, only a high ACCI (≥ 5) was extracted as a significant prognostic factor (Odds ratio, 12.2; 95% confidence interval, 3.81-39.3; p < 0.001). The 5-year survival rates for a low ACCI (≤ 4) and high ACCI were 96.6% and 73.5%, respectively (p < 0.001).

conclusionsA high ACCI is an important prognostic factor associated with the 5-year survival and a risk of death from other illness. Ampullary tumors suitable for EP are less likely to be a prognostic factor, and treatment-free follow-up may be acceptable in patients with a high ACCI.
