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

Periampullary carcinoma is a malignant gastrointestinal tumor originating from the head of the pancreas, distal bile duct, duodenum, or the ampulla of Vater. Currently, surgery remains the primary treatment option, yet the postoperative recurrence rate remains high. Chemotherapy is the main approach for controlling postoperative recurrence. Histologically, periampullary carcinoma is categorized into two types: intestinal (IN) and pancreaticobiliary (PB) subtype. Each subtype requires different therapeutic approaches, with the PB type primarily treated with gemcitabine and the IN type with 5-FU. Despite these options, patient outcomes are still unsatisfactory. In recent years, the feasibility of immunotherapy in tumor treatment has been increasingly evidenced, although research on its efficacy in periampullary carcinoma treatment is still limited. In this report, we present a case of a periampullary carcinoma patient who experienced recurrence and metastasis after undergoing radical pancreatoduodenectomy and receiving gemcitabine-based chemotherapy post-surgery. Through next-generation sequencing (NGS), we identified high expression levels of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) with a combined positive score (CPS) of 35, high tumor mutation burden (TMB-H), and high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) in this patient. Therefore, we implemented a combination therapy using Tislelizumab and chemotherapy. According to the latest follow-up, the tumors are effectively controlled. Our utilization of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy holds significant implication for the treatment of periampullary carcinoma.
