Risk factors for malignancy in branched-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas during the follow-up period.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2015. 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
backgroundThe international consensus guidelines for the management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas were revised in 2012 Tanaka (Pancreatology 12(3):183-197, 2012), making the indications for operation less aggressive. Therefore, the number of branch duct-type IPMN (BD-IPMN) patients requiring follow-up care is expected to increase in the future.
methodsThe aim of this study was to identify risk factors for malignancy in BD-IPMN patients during the follow-up period. This study included 47 BD-IPMN patients without a mural nodule (MN) at the time of initial diagnosis and who subsequently underwent resection after a follow-up period of more than 3 months. Data for the patients were reviewed retrospectively, and the clinicopathological factors were investigated.
resultsIn a univariate analysis, age (≧ 65 years), an increase in the main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter, the MPD diameter at resection (≧ 5 mm), and the occurrence of MN were significantly associated with malignancy. The occurrence of MN was the only significant factor in a multivariate analysis. In addition, 7 of the 17 patients (41.2 %) who only exhibited an increase in the cyst diameter during the follow-up period were diagnosed as having malignancies. All 6 patients who exhibited an increase in the cyst diameter of 100 % or more were diagnosed as having carcinoma.
conclusionsDuring the follow-up period, the incidence of malignancy was higher among patients with BD-IPMNs and the occurrence of MN, an increase in the MPD diameter, or an increase ratio of 100 % or more in cyst diameter than the others; resection was recommended for these patients.
