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

Undifferentiated osteoclast-like giant cell pancreatic carcinoma (UC-OGC) is a rare pancreatic carcinoma that is composed of osteoclast-like giant cells among other cells and is hardly described in literature due to its infrequent presentation. With that, a rare symptom of pancreatic cancers is upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. We report a 76-year-old African American male who presented with one episode of bloody emesis associated with intermittent episodes of severe abdominal pain and a 25 lbs of unintentional weight loss secondary to metastatic UC-OGC. The patient was stabilized and referred to an oncologist for further treatment. We present this case to add to the existing literature on UC-OGC of the pancreas.
