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

Introduction: To investigate the therapeutic efficacy and survival benefits of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) strategy, including local interventional therapy, systemic chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, for patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) presenting with liver metastasis at initial diagnosis. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male patient was diagnosed with PDAC in the tail of the pancreas with multiple intrahepatic metastases (cT3N1M1, stage IV). The patient underwent multimodal comprehensive treatment, including iodine-125 seed implantation at the pancreatic primary site, eight cycles of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, PD-L1 inhibitor (Benmelstobart), and oral S-1 maintenance therapy. After treatment, the patient's liver metastases significantly decreased in size (partial response according to RECIST 1.1), CA19-9 levels dropped from 4141.57 U/mL to 58.64 U/mL, overall survival exceeded 15 months, and quality of life remained good (ECOG score 1). Conclusion: The MDT strategy, particularly the combination of local interventional therapy with systemic treatment and immunotherapy, can effectively control both the primary and metastatic lesions of advanced PDAC, significantly prolonging patient survival and providing valuable treatment references for similar cases.
