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 has a low survival rate even after ostensible complete resection, and treatment for recurrence is usually only palliative. However, rare solitary metastasis can occur and may be operable. In this report, we describe such a case and review the literature on metastasectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A 66-year-old female underwent Whipple procedure at our institution in 2014 for a pT3N0 pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A slowly growing umbilical mass was noted 6 years later with concomitant rise in her CA 19-9 levels. CT-guided biopsy of her abdominal wall mass confirmed a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma consistent with her primary pancreatic cancer. The patient underwent metastasectomy of the isolated abdominal wall mass, with negative margins. She received no further postoperative treatment. The patient remains disease and symptom-free over 18 months after resection of the metastasis. In highly selected cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, resection of solitary metastasis may be therapeutic.
