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

Due to the low incidence of ampullary adenocarcinoma (AA), the recurrence patterns, risk factors for recurrence and post-recurrence treatment are still debated. The purpose of this study is to clarify such clinical issues based on the retrospective data at the National Cancer Center in China. Finally, one hundred and eighty-two AA patients after curative Whipple's resection from 1998 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 27 patients had locoregional recurrence and 61 patients had systemic recurrence. However, no significant difference of clinicopathological features and survival were found between locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis. In the recurrence group, the 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year recurrence-free survival and overall survival were 59.1%, 29.5%, 10.2%, 88.6%, 61.6%, and 37.6%, respectively. AA patients with recurrence have a worse prognosis than those without recurrence, regardless of stage. In addition, we found that advanced T stage and lymphovascular invasion were two independent risk factors for RFS in AA patients after curative Whipple's resection. In conclusion, AA patients with recurrence have a poor prognosis. Advanced T stage and lymphovascular invasion were two independent risk factors for recurrence-free survival in AA patients after curative Whipple's resection. Nevertheless, further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to fully validate.
