Invasive biliary mucinous cystic neoplasm: a review.
Review in HPB : the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
objectivesBiliary mucinous cystic neoplasms (BMCNs) are recently redefined rare liver tumours in which insufficient recognition frequently leads to an incorrect initial or delayed diagnosis. A concise review of the subtle, sometimes non-specific, clinical, serologic and radiographic features will allow for a heightened awareness and more comprehensive understanding of these entities.
methodsLiterature relating to the presentation, diagnosis, treatment, pathology and outcomes of BMCNs and published prior to March 2012 was reviewed.
resultsBiliary mucinous cystic neoplasms most commonly occur in females (≥60%) in the fifth decade of life. Clinical symptoms, serologic markers and imaging modalities are unreliable for diagnosis of BMCNs, which leads to misdiagnosis in 55-100% of patients. Perioperative cyst aspiration is not recommended as invasive BMCNs can only be differentiated from non-invasive BMCNs by microscopic evaluation for the presence of ovarian-type stroma. Intraoperative biopsy and frozen section(s) are essential to differentiate BMCNs from other cystic liver lesions. The treatment of choice is complete excision and can result in excellent survival with initial correct diagnosis.
conclusionsA low threshold for considering BMCN in the differential diagnosis of cystic liver lesions and increased attentiveness to its subtle diagnostic characteristics are imperative. The complete surgical resection of BMCNs and the use of appropriate nomenclature are necessary to improve outcomes and accurately define prognosis.
