Dissimilar survival and clinicopathological characteristics of mucinous adenocarcinoma located in pancreatic head and body/tail.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundGrowing evidence shows that pancreatic tumors in different anatomical locations have different characteristics, which have a significant impact on prognosis. However, no study has reported the differences between pancreatic mucinous adenocarcinoma (PMAC) in the head
aimTo investigate the differences in survival and clinicopathological characteristics between PMAC in the head and body/tail of pancreas.
methodsA total of 2058 PMAC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database diagnosed between 1992 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. We divided the patients who met the inclusion criteria into pancreatic head group (PHG) and pancreatic body/tail group (PBTG). The relationship between two groups and risk of invasive factors was identified using logistic regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis were conducted to compare the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of two patient groups.
resultsIn total, 271 PMAC patients were included in the study. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS rates of these patients were 51.6%, 23.5%, and 13.6%, respectively. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year CSS rates were 53.2%, 26.2%, and 17.4%, respectively. The median OS of PHG patients was longer than that of PBTG patients (18
conclusionCompared to the pancreatic body/tail, PMAC located in the pancreatic head has better survival and favorable clinicopathological characteristics.
