1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDuodenal adenocarcinoma is rare and its prognostic factors remain controversial. In our study, the role of cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA) as prognostic factor in duodenal adenocarcinoma was evaluated.

methodsFrom June 2003 to July 2021, plasma samples were collected from 41 patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma. Plasma cfDNA was assessed in combination with clinicopathological and biochemical characteristics. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify independent prognostic factors for overall survival with a Cox proportional hazards regression model.

resultsThe 1- and 5-year survival rates of the patients with high plasma cfDNA level (>9288 copies/mL) group were 58.7% and 17.6%, respectively, which were much lower than patients with low cfDNA level (≤9288 copies/mL), with 95.2% and 64.6%. In univariate analysis, high cfDNA level, lymph node involvement, lymphovascular invasion, and tumor stage were associated with decreased survival. When subjected to multivariate analysis, only high cfDNA level showed significance in influencing the overall survival of duodenal cancer.

conclusioncfDNA analysis is simple and noninvasive. High cfDNA level is a strong independent prognostic factor for decreased overall survival and it should be integrated into clinical care.
