Case of needle tract seeding during preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy for resectable pancreatic cancer.
Article in DEN open, 2023. 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
Reports of needle tract seeding (NTS) as a complication of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) have been increasing. To date, most of the reported cases of NTS have been diagnosed during the postoperative follow-up period. Herein, we report a case of NTS that occurred during preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy after EUS-FNA for resectable pancreatic cancer. The patient underwent transgastric EUS-FNA for a pancreatic tail tumor. He was diagnosed as having resectable pancreatic cancer and received preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After completion of the chemotherapy, computed tomography showed a thick-walled cyst-like structure appearing between the pancreas and the gastric wall. Combined resection revealed adenocarcinoma invasion into the cyst-like structure. Based on the clinical course, and surgical and pathological findings, the condition was diagnosed as NTS. It is thus crucial that after EUS-FNA, a detailed review of the imaging findings be conducted in the preoperative period. If adhesions between the stomach and the pancreas are observed after transgastric EUS-FNA, combined resection of the gastric wall should be considered.
