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

Due to recent advances in CT/MRI technology, incidentalomas of the pancreas are detected with increasing frequency. Pancreatic incidentalomas should be differentiated into solid and cystic tumors. In both subgroups definitive classification of the tumor is often not possible. Operative therapy is recommended in premalignant or malignant pathologies. Thus solid incidentalomas should be resected independently of their size, if the patient is without serious comorbidities. In case of cystic incidentalomas, benign cystic lesions should be excluded as far as possible. Otherwise they should be resected if their size is >or=2 cm. In case of IPMN with specific risk factors, resection is recommended when the tumor size exceeds 1 cm.
