Gastric Cancer Invading the Pancreas: A Review of the Role of Pancreatectomy.
Review in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Gastric cancer is quite a common type of cancer, with significant associated mortality. Traditionally, combined resections of affected organs have been advocated in cases of locally advanced gastric cancer, in order to achieve an R0 resection. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the role of pancreatectomy in the treatment of gastric cancer invading the pancreas by reviewing the relevant literature. The oncological benefits to survival rates of multivisceral resection are not always obvious from the relevant survival charts, especially when the pancreas is the organ invaded by the gastric cancer and gastrectomy needs to be combined with a pancreatectomy, an operation with high morbidity rates. In conclusion, careful patient selection is essential to achieving optimal results, balancing the oncological benefits in these properly selected patients against the associated morbidity of extensive resection.
