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

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a low-grade, malignant pancreatic tumor that occurs predominantly in young females. In this report, an extremely rare case of multicentric SPNs in a middle-aged male is discussed. A 55-year-old man was incidentally found to have a mass in the pancreatic body on abdominal ultrasonography during a medical checkup. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed masses with 50-mm and 25-mm diameters with internal calcification in the pancreatic body and tail, respectively. These masses had a gradually increasing enhancement pattern though the center of the pancreatic body mass and the periphery of the pancreatic tail lesion were non-enhancing. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hyperintense signal in the mass of the pancreatic tail suggestive of hemorrhage on T1-weighted imaging. Positron emission tomography-CT revealed abnormal uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose in both lesions. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration was performed on both lesions, and tumor tissue with a solid proliferation of poorly pleomorphic small cells was observed. The tumor cells were positive for CD10 in the cytoplasm and β-catenin in the nucleus. The patient was diagnosed with SPNs and underwent a successful distal pancreatectomy.
