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

A 76-year-old woman was investigated for epigastric pain on a background of a laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma 4 years prior. Imaging revealed an isolated 32 mm fluorodeoxyglucose avid lesion contacting both the anterior abdominal wall and greater curvature of the stomach. Immunohistochemistry and fine needle biopsy confirmed a phenotype consistent with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Laparoscopic excision of the mass and partial gastrectomy for clearance of margins was performed. Histopathology demonstrated a poorly differentiated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and the patient received adjuvant gemcitabine/capecitabine following an uncomplicated postoperative course. This article presents a rare case of isolated abdominal wall recurrence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, which was successfully treated with surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy.
