Prognosis of pancreatic cancer with Trousseau syndrome: a systematic review of case reports in Japanese literature.
Synthesis in Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Trousseau syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with a risk of poor prognosis. We reviewed the survival time and prognosis of patients with Trousseau syndrome. We identified 40 cases from 28 reports of Trousseau syndrome due to pancreatic cancer. We analyzed 20 cases based on reports providing sufficient information on the stage/location of pancreatic cancer and survival time after Trousseau syndrome. The median survival time was 2.0 months. There was no statistical difference between performance status (PS) 0-1 and PS 4, stages I-III and IV, and pancreatic head and body/tail. However, statistically significant differences were noted between the median survival time of patients who continued treatment for pancreatic cancer even after Trousseau syndrome and those who discontinued treatment (P = 0.005). Although only a small number of cases were analyzed in this study, the results indicated that patients with pancreatic cancer who developed Trousseau syndrome had a poor prognosis, and chemotherapy should be continued, if possible.
