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

Solitary pancreatic metastasis is a rare cause of pancreatic neoplasm. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the primary differential consideration when a solitary pancreatic mass is diagnosed, as it is the most common solitary solid pancreatic neoplasm. A majority of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas arise in the region of the head of the pancreas; however, specific neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions can occur at or adjacent to the pancreatic head, which can mimic a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Therefore, a histopathological diagnosis is essential for confirming pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Isolated solitary metastasis from primary lung adenocarcinoma is a rare cause of a solitary pancreatic head mass. We report a case in which imaging and pathology were integral to the diagnosis of a solitary lung adenocarcinoma metastasis to the head of the pancreas, which ultimately guided appropriate patient management.
