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 adeno-mixed neuroendocrine non-endocrine (pMINEN) tumors are extremely rare [Pancreatology. 2021;21(1):224-235]. They are known to have distal metastasis at presentation and have a comparatively lower survival rate than similar staged neuroendocrine (NEN) carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and small-cell lung tumor from which its treatment patterns are extrapolated. Also, very less is known about its molecular structure and natural courses. There is a dearth of data about pMINEN in the literature, and also there is a lack of large multicentral trials due to which the MINEN tumors do not have a standard universal management protocol. We discuss here the clinical dilemmas that arise during diagnosis and reporting and urge to form a multicentric trial to formulate a focused protocolized approach. We describe here our encounter with a pancreatic head lesion which on immunohistochemical analysis turned out to be a pMINEN with moderately differentiating ductal adenocarcinoma and low-grade NEN tumor. Radical R0 surgery with multimodal treatment (chemotherapy + radiotherapy) gains improved survival in long term.
