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

backgroundAmpullary adenocarcinomas are a rare disease. They can be classified anatomically or according to their histology into intestinal, pancreatobiliary, and mixed subtypes, with different subtypes having distinct prognoses and potential treatments. We report a clinical case of a patient with mixed type adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater, with predominantly intestinal histology, associated with an isolated and synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis. It is the only case reported in the literature of duodenal ampulla cancer with synchronous peritoneal metastases, with long-term survival. CASE SUMMARY: A 53-year-old male patient with non-insulin-dependent diabetes presented with acute abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium. Images revealed dilatation of the biliary tract and the duct of Wirsung, without a clear obstructive factor. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a tumor in the duodenal papilla. Biopsies confirmed an adenocarcinoma. In the first surgical step, a biliodigestive bypass was performed in association with resection of the carcinomatosis. Peritoneal metastases was found during the intraoperative period. Subsequently, chemotherapy with the folinic acid, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin regimen was administered based on histology, and a favorable response was achieved. After a multidisciplinary discussion, the Whipple procedure was performed. A delayed biopsy showed disease-free margins. The patient achieved 5 years of overall survival in August 2024, and 4 years of disease-free survival in September 2024.

conclusionWe conclude that an important value of this work is showing individualized treatment for a patient with cancer.
