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
purposePortal vein and superior mesenteric vein thrombosis (PVT/SMVT) are potentially morbid complications of radiation dose-escalated local therapy for pancreatic cancer. We retrospectively reviewed records for patients treated with and without intraoperative radiation (IORT) to identify risk factors for PVT/SMVT.
methodsNinety-six patients with locally advanced or borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma received neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgical exploration from 2009 to 2014. Patients at risk for close or positive surgical margins received IORT boost to a biologically effective dose (BED10) > 100. Prognostic factors for PVT/SMVT were evaluated using competing risks regression.
resultsMedian follow-up was 79 months for surviving patients. Fifty-six patients (58%) received IORT. Twenty-nine patients (30%) developed PVT/SMVT at a median time of 18 months. On univariate competing risks regression, operative blood loss and venous repair with a vascular interposition graft, but not IORT dose escalation or diabetes history, were significantly associated with PVT/SMVT. The development of thrombosis in the absence of recurrence was significantly associated with a longstanding diabetes history, post-neoadjuvant treatment CA19-9, and operative blood loss. All 4 patients who underwent both IORT and vascular repair with a graft developed PVT/SMVT. PVT/SMVT in the absence of recurrence is not associated with significantly worsened overall survival but led to frequent medical interventions.
conclusionsApproximately 30% of patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation for PDAC developed PVT/SMVT a median of 18 months following surgery. This was significantly associated with venous reconstruction with vascular grafts, but not with escalating radiation dose. PVT/SMVT in the absence of recurrence was associated with significant morbidity.
