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
backgroundAlthough most duodenal carcinomas are pathological adenocarcinomas, a small number of cases have been reported of adenosquamous carcinoma, characterized by variable combinations of two malignant components: adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. However, owing to the small number of cases of non-ampullary duodenal adenosquamous carcinoma, there have been no reported cases of emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy for gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to non-ampullary duodenal adenosquamous carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old Japanese male presented to the referring hospital with a chief complaint of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dark urine that had persisted for 1 month. The patient was referred to our hospital because of liver dysfunction on a blood examination. Laboratory results of the blood on the day of admission showed that total and direct bilirubin levels (12.0 mg/dl and 9.6 mg/dl) were markedly increased. An endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage tube was inserted for the treatment of obstructive jaundice, and imaging studies were continuously performed. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography and endoscopy revealed an ill-defined lesion involving the second portion of the duodenum, predominantly along the medial wall, and measuring 60 mm in diameter. No metastases were observed by positron emission tomography. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was planned based on the pathological findings of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. However, 2 days before the scheduled surgery, the patient experienced hemorrhagic shock with melena. Owing to poor hemostasis after endoscopic treatment and poor control of hemodynamic circulation despite blood transfusion, radiological embolization and hemostasis were attempted but were incomplete. An emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed after embolizing the route from the gastroduodenal artery and pseudoaneurysm area to reduce bleeding. The operation was completed using an anterior approach without Kocherization or tunneling due to the huge tumor. The operation time was 4 h and 32 min, and blood loss was 595 mL The pathological diagnosis was adenosquamous carcinoma. The postoperative course was uneventful with 17 day hospital stay and the patient is currently well, with no signs of recurrence 9 months after surgery.
conclusionsThis report presents an extremely rare case of successful emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy for gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by non-ampullary duodenal adenosquamous carcinoma.
