Novel Therapies in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: A Peak Beyond the Realms of Gene Targeting.
Review in Cureus, 2025. 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
Pancreatic cancer presents a formidable challenge in oncology, marked by its aggressive behavior and dismal prognosis. Despite a surge in global diagnoses, particularly in affluent nations, mortality data remain scarce in low-income countries due to limited access to diagnostic tools. The five-year survival rate remains dismally low, hovering around 6-8%, emphasizing the urgent need for innovative treatment strategies. In patients with resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, both neoadjuvant/perioperative mFOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine-nab-paclitaxel (GEM-Abraxane) have shown comparable median overall survival (~23-25 months) and R0 resection rates (~64-80%) in the SWOG S1505 trial. While mFOLFIRINOX demonstrates a modest progression-free survival benefit in metastatic settings, GEM-Abraxane remains a viable alternative, particularly in patients with borderline performance status. Metastasis, particularly in the lungs, is a common occurrence in pancreatic cancer, significantly impacting patient survival. Furthermore, bone metastasis, although less frequent, poses significant challenges and adversely affects outcomes. While the
