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

The relationship between diabetes and pancreatic cancer is well documented; however, the effect of preoperative blood glucose levels on prognosis and postoperative complications is currently unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative blood glucose levels on overall survival (OS) and postoperative complications in patients with pancreatic cancer. This retrospective study included 225 patients with pancreatic cancer treated at The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2015 to December 2020. Patients were grouped based on preoperative blood glucose levels (normal, ≤6.11 mmol/l; high, >6.11 mmol/l). Data on demographics, clinical history, tumor characteristics, treatment and laboratory results were collected. High preoperative blood glucose levels were associated with reduced OS time [hazard ratio (HR), 1.68; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.15-2.45; P=0.007] and increased postoperative complications (29.2 vs. 9.8%; χ
