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

objectiveThis review investigates the role of adjuvant therapy (AT) and the importance of histopathological typing in periampullary carcinoma (PAC) treatment.

backgroundPAC is a relatively rare gastrointestinal malignancy. The regimen and effect of AT in PAC are still controversial. However, there is a treatment based on histopathological types (pancreaticobiliary-type, PB-type or intestinal-type, IN-type), but there are no clear guidelines indicating that typing can be used to guide the selection of AT drugs.

methodsA literature search of PubMed and Web of Science databases was conducted for studies published from January 2001 to August 2021 on the use of AT in PAC.

resultsA total of 75 studies were included in this review. According to existing studies, AT for PAC is mostly based on 5-FU or gemcitabine, but the effect is unknown. However, when PAC is classified into different histopathological types, AT with gemcitabine is beneficial for patients with the PB-type of PAC, while 5-FU-based AT is beneficial for patients with the IN-type of PAC. In addition, the benefits of AT are more pronounced in patients with a high-risk disease, such as patients with stage II/III, T3/T4 tumors, or positive lymph node involvement. There are few studies on targeted therapy and immunotherapy for PAC.

conclusionsThis review suggests that AT has potential survival benefits, especially when based on the histopathologic type that helps the choice of drugs during AT in PAC patients.
