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

Metastatic pancreatic cancer is a rare condition and cases of pancreatic metastasis from cervical cancer are infrequently reported. Furthermore, the incidence rates of pancreatic tumors as the cause of pancreatitis and of pancreatitis in patients with pancreatic tumors are similarly low. Pancreatitis may occur when a tumor obstructs the pancreatic duct. This condition may be difficult to manage and significantly reduces the quality of life because of severe abdominal pain. Here, we present a rare case of obstructive pancreatitis caused by pancreatic metastasis from cervical squamous-cell carcinoma, pathologically confirmed using endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle biopsy and treated with palliative irradiation to achieve rapid therapeutic relief. It is important to obtain appropriate tissue samples, confirm the pathological diagnosis, and compare the pathological findings with those of the primary tumor to select the appropriate treatment for obstructive pancreatitis caused by a metastatic pancreatic tumor.
