Familial and hereditary pancreatic cancer in Japan.
Review in Familial cancer, 2024. 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
As in Western countries, familial pancreatic cancer accounts for 5-7% of pancreatic cancer (PC) in Japan. Opportunities for diagnosing hereditary pancreatic cancer (HPC) are increasing owing to the coverage of companion diagnostics and cancer genomic profiling by national health insurance in patients with unresectable or recurrent PC refractory to standard chemotherapies. HPC is recognized in 7% of PCs and 15% of familial pancreatic cancer, including germline variants of BRCA1/2, ATM, PALB2, APC, and mismatch repair genes. Individuals with 5-fold or greater inherited risks of PC are recommended to undergo pancreatic surveillance according to Japanese guidelines. The imaging modalities for this surveillance include endoscopic ultrasound, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, abdominal ultrasound, and enhanced computed tomography. Currently, a nationwide prospective surveillance study is ongoing in Japan. Platinum-based chemotherapy is an effective pancreatic cancer treatment in patients with variants of homologous recombination repair genes (BRCA1/2 and PALB2); however, the use of platinum regimens solely based on familial/personal cancer history remains controversial. The efficacy of olaparib maintenance therapy, as confirmed by the POLO study, has significantly impacted the clinical treatment of advanced PC patients in Japan. Since the initiation of precision cancer medicine in 2019, genetic medicine for PC patients has expanded in Japan.
