Clinicopathological predictive factors in long-term survivors who underwent surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: A single-center propensity score matched analysis.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundLong-term survivors (LTSs) after pancreatic resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) represent a particular subgroup of patients that remains poorly understood. The primary endpoint was to identify clinicopathological factors associated with LTSs after pancreatic resection for PDAC.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of patients who had undergone pancreatic resection for PDAC. Long survival was defined as a patient who survived at least 60 months. Patients were divided in two groups: LTS and short-term survivor (STS). The two groups were compared regarding epidemiological, clinical, and pathological data. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce selection bias with a 1:2 ratio. Multivariable analysis of significative predictive factors before and after PSM was done.
resultsThree hundred and thirty-three patients were enrolled: 46 (13.8%) in the LTS group and 287 (86.2%) in the STS group. Using PSM, 138 patients were analyzed: 46 in the LTS group and 92 in the STS group. At the multivariate analysis of significative predictive factor after PSM, adjuvant chemotherapy, well-differentiated tumors (G1), and R0 status were related to long-term survival (p = 0.052, 0.010 and p = 0.019, respectively). Kaplan-Meier survival curves confirmed these data. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that pathological stage I was a favorable factor with respect to stage II, III, and IV.
conclusionsLong-term survival is possible after pancreatic cancer resection, even if in a small percentage. Significant predictors of long-term survival are administration of adjuvant chemotherapy, American Join Committee on Cancer stage I, well-differentiated tumor (G1), and R0 resection.
