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

We present a 65-year-old man with pancreatic cancer treated with chemotherapy and chemoradiation for local control, who presented three years later with groin pain and a retracted right testis. Evaluation revealed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma metastatic to bilateral testes and spermatic cords with rising CA19-9. He underwent palliative bilateral radical orchiectomy. We present this case of metastatic pancreatic cancer to bilateral testes and spermatic cords as the first report in the English literature. This case highlights the need to consider metastatic disease in men over 40 presenting with a new testicular or spermatic cord mass and a history of malignancy.
