Outcomes of surgical resection for pulmonary metastasis from pancreatic cancer.
Article in Surgery today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeAs the number of long-term survivors of pancreatic cancer is expected to increase thanks to recent advances in multidisciplinary treatment and earlier diagnoses of pancreatic cancer, we are likely to encounter more cases of postoperative pulmonary nodules. We analyzed the clinical course and prognosis of resection of pulmonary metastases from pancreatic cancer to clarify the prognostic implication of pulmonary metastasectomy for pancreatic cancer.
methodWe retrospectively analyzed 35 patients who underwent resection of lung metastases after pancreatic cancer surgery. Short- and long-term outcomes and factors associated with the prognosis were analyzed.
resultsThe observation period was 20 (range, 1-101) months, with 3- and 5-year survival rates of 88.3% and 64.5% from pancreatectomy and 44.1% and 28.3% from lung resection, respectively. A univariate analysis revealed that a period from pancreatic cancer resection to pulmonary nodule shadow detection of < 15 months was associated with a significantly lower overall survival from pancreatic resection than a longer period. Conversely, histological type, stage, size of lung metastases, and resection technique were not associated with the overall survival.
conclusionA long-term prognosis may be expected in some cases with a disease-free interval of ≥ 15 months. Our findings suggest that the disease-free interval may influence the prognosis.
