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
The study evaluates the outcome after surgery for pancreatic and periampullary tumors in Greenlandic Inuit with overall survival (OS) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) as secondary outcome. Results were compared with Danish patients with an identical tumor stage and age operated at the same hospital during the same period from 31. January 1999 to 31. January 2021. Follow up was minimum one year. Preoperative health data shoved a higher rate of smoking among Greenlandic patients, but a lower preoperative comorbidity than in Danish patients. Patients from Greenland had a lower resection rate and a higher rate of palliative operations. Postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality were not significantly different. Adjuvant oncologic treatment was well accepted by Greenlandic patients but less common in a palliative setting than in Danish patients. The one, two, and five-year survival in Greenlandic and Danish patients after radical operation for PDAC was 54.4% vs. 74.6%, 23.4% vs. 48.6%, and 0.0% vs. 23.4%, respectively. The overall survival with non-resectable PDAC was 5.9 and 8.8 months, respectively. It is concluded that although patients from Greenland have the same access to specialized treatment, the outcome after treatment for pancreatic and periampullary cancer is less favorable than in Danish patients.
