Marital Status Is Associated With Treatment Attainment in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.
Article in Journal of surgical oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIn patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, for whom complex pre- and postoperative therapy is necessary, the effects of social support by means of marital status have not been well studied. We therefore sought to assess the relationship of marital status with treatment attainment in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
methodsThis retrospective national cohort analysis used the SEER database and included adult patients with stage I-III pancreatic adenocarcinoma from 2018 to 2022 (n = 24 540). Rates of treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation), time to treatment, and treatment delay (> 6 weeks from diagnosis) were compared between married, divorced, single, and widowed patients.
resultsOf the eligible 24 540 patients, 14 280 (58.2%) were married, 2731 (9.7%) were divorced, 3665 (14.9%) were single, and 3864 (15.7%) were widowed. Multivariable analysis demonstrated decreased likelihood of undergoing surgery for divorced (aOR: 0.61, p < 0.001), single (aOR: 0.60, p < 0.001), and widowed (aOR: 0.37, p < 0.001) patients versus married patients. Likelihood of treatment delay was higher for divorced (aOR: 1.36, p < 0.001), single (aOR: 1.43, p < 0.001), and widowed (aOR: 1.46, p < 0.001) patients versus married patients as well.
conclusionsMarried patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma had higher rates of surgery and reduced likelihood of treatment delay compared to divorced, single, and widowed patients.
