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

Metastatic sarcomas to the pancreas are extremely rare, with poor survival rates. Therefore, rapid diagnosis and differentiation from primary malignant tumors of pancreas thereby guiding the treatment is indispensable. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is the current diagnostic modality of choice for pancreatic tumor sampling with promising results. Definitive pathologic diagnosis requires adequate tissue for performing ancillary studies. We present a rare case of metastatic synovial sarcoma in the pancreas in an elderly male to endorse the utility of EUS-FNB with imprint cytology as a rapid and effective diagnostic tool.
