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 adenocarcinoma is a rare cancer for which there are no standard adjuvant treatment recommendations due to the lack of randomized clinical trials. The primary aim of this analysis is to investigate the efficacy of adjuvant FOLFIRINOX treatment in patients with resected ampullary adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted at 15 institutions in Turkey between August 2007 and January 2024, involving 211 patients with resected, non-metastatic ampullary adenocarcinoma receiving adjuvant chemotherapy with various chemotherapy regimens with or without chemoradiation. Clinicopathological and treatment-related parameters were recorded. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify covariates associated with OS.

resultsThe median follow-up time was 52 months, and 116 patients (55.2%) were alive at the time of the analysis. The median age was 61 years (32-82). mFOLFIRINOX was administered to 16.6% of the patients (

conclusionsFOLFIRINOX treatment has shown efficacy in the adjuvant treatment of ampullary cancer, independent of histological subtype. The findings should be validated in large prospective trials.
