Perioperative Clinical Usage of Phellinus Linteus as a Nutraceutical for Non-FOLFIRINOX-Based Postoperative Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Resected Pancreatic Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Integrative cancer therapies. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionMost patients with pancreatic cancer experience systemic recurrence within 1 to 2 years after radical pancreatectomy. Phellinus linteus (PL) has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties, suggesting potential as an adjunct to cancer therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term oncological impact of perioperative PL in resected pancreatic cancer.
methodThis retrospective cohort study included 407 patients who underwent curative resection and adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer at Severance Hospital (2012-2022). Among them, 103 patients who began PL postoperatively and continued throughout treatment were assigned to the PL group; 304 patients without PL intake comprised the control group.
resultsThe mean overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in the PL group (47.0 months; 95% CI: 42.8-51.1) than in the control group (35.0 months; 95% CI: 30.3-39.7;
conclusionPL may enhance survival in resected pancreatic cancer, particularly in patients receiving non-FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy, supporting its role as a potential adjunct when FOLFIRINOX is not feasible.
