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

backgroundDuodenal adenocarcinoma (DA), a rare gastrointestinal malignancy, lacks clear natural history and management strategies. This study aimed to investigate the long-term outcomes of patients with DA, focusing on long-term survival and the impact of tumor characteristics, surgery, and adjuvant therapy.

aimTo bridge this knowledge gap, we conducted a hospital-based cohort study in our 15-year experience with DA aimed at investigating the long-term outcomes of the patients with DA, along with analyzing the impact of the tumor characteristics, operations and adjuvant therapy on survival outcomes.

methodsA retrospective analysis of 208 patients diagnosed with non-ampullary DA at a single institution between 2009 and 2023 was performed. This study used SPSS 26.0 software to make a comprehensive statistical analysis of demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, treatment modalities, and survival outcomes. The effectiveness of surgical resection and adjuvant therapy in 5-year oval survival (OS) and disease-free survival was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves, the Cox proportional hazards model, and statistical comparisons of survival distributions.

resultsThe median OS time for the cohort was 39 months, with 3- and 5-year OS rates of 51.2% and 43.6%, respectively. Radical resection was performed in 82.6% of cases, and was significantly associated with an improved 5-year OS, with a rate of 57.8%. Adjuvant therapy showed a survival benefit in the specific patient subsets, particularly in tumor stage II or III tumors, with an improved OS. Adjuvant therapy (hazard ratio= 2.71, 95% confidence interval: 1.30-5.62,

conclusionRadical operation for DA is associated with a remarkable improvement in the 5-year OS. Importantly, postoperative adjuvant therapy can significantly prolong the OS time in patients with radical operation, especially in patients with stage III. It highlights the necessity for early diagnosis, tailored surgical approaches, and a nuanced understanding of the role of adjuvant therapy.
