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

Renal cell carcinoma is an aggressive malignancy, with distant metastases often diagnosed many years following radical nephrectomy. We describe a case of pancreatic metastasis in a patient with prior renal cell carcinoma and history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, diagnosed using endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure. Our case demonstrates the utility of endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric ERCP to both diagnose and manage treatment of malignancy in patients with altered anatomy, as a minimally invasive alternative to ERCP.
