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 (PC) manifests as a highly aggressive neoplastic growth, ranking as the fourth major contributor to cancer-related mortality in the United States. Despite sustained efforts, the incidence of PC is projected to rise, and the mortality rate has seen only a marginal reduction over time. A mere 15% of pancreatic cancer cases are deemed resectable upon presentation, explaining the notably low 5-year survival rate associated with this malignancy. Acute pancreatitis (AP) encompasses various degrees of inflammation in the pancreas, leading to diverse outcomes. While commonly associated with gallstone and alcohol use, it can serve as the initial presentation of PC in approximately 1% of cases. Our case series highlights two patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (PC) following an episode of acute pancreatitis (AP). It is not uncommon for PC to be preceded by AP, with up to 5.9% of PC cases in the United States presenting similarly.
