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 ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) classically presents as a solitary mass on cross-sectional imaging. Diffuse-type PDAC is an unusual variant that accounts for 1%-5% of PDACs. Owing to its rarity, there are no established radiographic or endosonographic definitions. We report a unique case of diffuse-type PDAC presenting with imaging findings of 2 distinct masses in the pancreatic head and tail and with endoscopic ultrasound findings of diffuse gland enlargement mimicking autoimmune pancreatitis. The case illustrates the importance of sampling several areas of the pancreas when diffuse enlargement is present on endoscopic ultrasound and multiple masses are seen on cross-sectional imaging.
