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

An intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is now a well-recognized disease entity. In general, the prognosis of IPMN is much more favorable than that of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, IPMN has a broad biological spectrum and it sometimes progresses, slowly showing neoplastic transformations. International consensus guidelines have been recently proposed for the management of IPMN. While they significantly contribute to appropriate management of IPMN, various issues including the natural history and malignant potential of IPMN are not fully elucidated. This review focuses on the malignant potential, including the postoperative recurrence of IPMN, coincidence of IPMN with PDAC, and extrapancreatic malignancy that may affect the long-term survival of the patients rather than IPMN itself.
