Case studies in the diagnosis and management of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
Article in Familial cancer, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by melanotic macules, gastrointestinal polyps and increased cancer risks. We discuss several common scenarios encountered in the diagnosis and management of PJS patients. If the diagnosis is unclear, all pathological material should be re-evaluated by an expert gastrointestinal pathologist. The PJS discussion email list-serve (patient managed) and the peutz-jeghers.com, geneclinics.org, stk11.com websites are useful resources for patients. Cancer surveillance is accepted as a method to increase survival for PJS patients, thus all PJS patients should be prescribed an individualized surveillance plan based on personal and family history as well as available health care resources while taking into consideration the preferences of the patient. Several recent incremental improvements in PJS care have been made including the use of magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) and double balloon endoscopy (DBE). MRE combines cancer and small intestinal polyp surveillance, which previously had required two or more separate tests. How and when to perform pancreatic cancer surveillance continues to be an unclear area in the management of PJS patients. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is probably the most sensitive investigation for pancreatic cancer detection at an early stage when cure may be possible. However, EUS is limited by variability and false positive results. Female patients with PJS are at risk for two rare cancers that require regular surveillance, adenoma malignum and ovarian sex cord tumors with annular tubules.
