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

Pancreatic cancer is one of the common causes of cancer-associated mortality with a dismal overall prognosis which has remained virtually unchanged over decades. In the present era, the management of patients with pancreatic cancer involves a multi-disciplinary team of radiologists, gastroenterologists, surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and other specialists. The advancement of interventional endoscopy has made a significant impact in the management of pancreatic cancers. Since the inception of endoscopic ultrasound, it has evolved over the last few decades in the management of pancreatic malignancies and its role in staging and tissue acquisition is well established. There is an emerging role of endoscopic ultrasound in the treatment and palliation of unresectable pancreatic cancer. The aim of this article is to review the role of endoscopic ultrasound in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the current era.
