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

introductionPancreatic cancer complicated by active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) presents a therapeutic dilemma because timely oncologic treatment must be balanced against infection control. Evidence guiding the curative-intent management of pancreatic cancer complicated by active TB remains extremely limited. CASE PRESENTATION: An 81-year-old man with a history of tuberculous peritonitis and diabetes mellitus presented with weight loss and poor glycemic control. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed a 14-mm pancreatic head tumor and multiple nodular lesions in the right upper lobe. Sputum examination was positive for acid-fast bacilli and

conclusionsAlthough further accumulation of similar cases is needed, this case demonstrates that curative-intent treatment of PDAC complicated by active TB can be achieved through careful multidisciplinary management.
