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

Pancreatic mixed acinar-neuroendocrine carcinomas are rare malignant tumors of the pancreas. They are composed histologically of both acinar and neuroendocrine cells. The pancreatic duct is known to be an important site of tumor growth for acinar cell carcinomas, neuroendocrine tumors, and intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasms. To the best of our knowledge, there has been only 1 report of a mixed acinar-neuroendocrine carcinoma growing into the pancreatic duct and no reports detailing imaging findings with this tumor. We here report a 69-year-old man who presented with worsening glycemic control. Multiphase contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-circumscribed mass with poor contrast enhancement in the pancreatic tail region of the pancreatic duct. The intraductal mass showed diffusion restriction on magnetic resonance imaging. These imaging findings are consistent with the expansive, smooth-surfaced polypoid tumor of low vascularity and high cellularity that was diagnosed pathologically. Mixed acinar-neuroendocrine carcinomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of intraductal tumors of the pancreas with poor contrast enhancement and diffusion restriction.
