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

In selected patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, metastasectomy can achieve prolonged survival. Herein we report a patient with concomitant pancreatic and duodenal metastases occurring 12 years after total right nephrectomy for a renal cell carcinoma. The metastases were successfully treated by a pancreas-sparing duodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy. A 66-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of right upper abdominal pain. He had undergone laparoscopic total right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma 12 years before. Enhanced computed tomography showed hypervascular tumors in the pancreatic body and the descending duodenum near the papilla of Vater. Histopathological examination of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration cytology specimens revealed metastatic clear cell renal cancer. The patient underwent pancreas-sparing duodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy. He developed a pancreatic fistula after surgery that improved with conservative treatment, and has been free of evidence of recurrence up to 20 months postoperatively.
