Long-Term Survival in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma with Metachronous Hepatic Metastases Using Multimodality Treatment Including Pegylated Liposomal Irinotecan and Capecitabine: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in oncology. 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
Introduction: Pegylated liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) in combination with fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) has achieved a median overall survival of 6.1 months in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who progressed on gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. The case of a patient with considerable long-term survival on second-line nal-IRI-based therapy is presented. Case Presentation: A 70-year-old male presented with weight loss and abdominal pain in July 2018, was diagnosed with stage IB PDAC (pT2, pN0, M0), and underwent successful R0 resection. Adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX (5-FU, LV, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin) was given for 9 cycles between September 2018 and January 2019, and the patient remained recurrence-free until a computed tomography scan revealed soft tissue mesenteric infiltrations in July 2020. First-line palliative chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine was initiated and continued until January 2022 when disease progression in the form of two metastatic hepatic lesions was observed. Second-line palliative chemotherapy with nal-IRI 129 mg on day 1 + capecitabine (CAP) 4,000 mg daily for the first 7 days of each 14-day cycle was initiated (due to previous 5-FU intolerance). Response (reduced oncomarkers) was observed, and treatment with nal-IRI + CAP continued, with liver-directed treatment in September 2023, until February 2024. During second-line therapy, side effects (mild diarrhoea) were infrequent and manageable. Conclusion: This patient achieved an extraordinary survival of 25 months with second-line treatment with nal-IRI + CAP. Nal-IRI-based therapy has the potential to provide long-term survival in the presence of favourable prognostic factors such as moderately elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels.
