Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN) of the pancreas: its diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
Review in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe many varieties of cystic pancreatic tumor, and especially intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN), have attracted increased attention recently. Their incidence may be rising, and their histopathological evaluation and classification have become more precise than before.
methodsWe discuss the current diagnostic evaluation of IPMN, along with treatment and prognostication, on the basis of the current international guideline as well as pertinent literature retrieved by a selective PubMed search.
resultsThe preoperative diagnostic evaluation of IPMN is often problematic. In particular, it may not be possible to differentiate main-duct disease from branch-duct disease (MD-IPMN vs. BD-IPMN) before surgery--a distinction with implications for prognosis and treatment, as MD-IPMN is more often malignant. An IPMN adenoma can develop into invasive pancreatic cancer. Because firm diagnostic criteria are still lacking, it is recommended that all MD-IPMN lesions and all large BD-IPMN lesions should be resected. Partial pancreatectomy with clean margins is the treatment of choice.
conclusionAs IPMN seems to be a slow-growing precursor of pancreatic cancer, it is possible that its early detection and surgical treatment can lead to a cure. No conclusion about the efficacy of surveillance and follow-up programs can be drawn from the available evidence. A better understanding of the natural course of IPMN and the biology of pancreatic cancer is needed to enable further improvements in diagnosis and treatment.
