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

backgroundSolid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas are rare exocrine pancreatic tumors. Through a review of pediatric cases in a single Institution, we present the clinical and surgical management of this neoplasm.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical charts of patients treated at our unit between 1995 and 2009 for SPT. Clinical and surgical management were analyzed and reported.

resultsDuring the study period 11 patients underwent surgery for pseudopapillary tumor. Five patients were treated with duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection and six patients with splenopancreasectomy with a Roux-en-Y pancreatic jejunostomy. Patients did not show recurrence and are currently disease free. Blood tests, Ultrasound, Computed tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging were not useful to preoperatively identify the nature of the pancreatic masses.

conclusionSolid pseudopapillary tumor is a rare condition that should be taken into account for the differential diagnosis of pancreatic masses in pediatric age. Due to its favourable prognosis, surgical removal should be planned and done following the intraoperative findings.
