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

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas are being diagnosed with increasing frequency, probably due to the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging. The natural history of these tumors is still largely unknown. Several studies have shown topographical as well as biological differences between main duct and branch duct IPMNs. In the past few years, diagnostic work-up and, in particular, management of these tumors have evolved significantly. Data support the need for resection of main duct IPMNs and the possibility of nonoperative management in selected cases of branch duct tumors. In this systematic review, we analyze the most recent publications related to IPMNs, with particular emphasis on problems related to managing this challenging disease.
