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

Pancreatic cystic lesions are increasingly recognised due to the widespread use of different imaging modalities. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas represent a common, but also heterogeneous group of cystic tumors with a significant malignant potential. These neoplasms must be differentiated from other cystic tumors and properly classified into their different types, main-duct IPMNs vs branch-duct IPMNs. These types have a different malignant potential and therefore, different treatment strategies need to be implemented. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) offers the highest resolution of the pancreas and can aid in the differential diagnosis, classification and differentiation between benign and malignant tumors. The addition of EUS fine-needle aspiration can supply further information by obtaining fluid for cytology, measurement of tumor markers and perhaps DNA analysis. Novel techniques, such as the use of contrast and sophisticated equipment, like intraductal probes can provide information regarding malignant features and extent of these neoplasms. Thus, EUS is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and appropriate management of these tumors.
