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

aimsThis study investigated the clinicopathological features and surgical management of solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) at a single institution in China.

methodsWe investigated 45 patients who underwent surgery for pathologically confirmed SPNs between 1996 and 2014.

resultsThe 45 cases included 44 female and 1 male patients, and the average age was 32.2 years. The tumor was located in the body and/or tail in 33 patients, the head in 9 patients and the neck in 3 patients. The median tumor size was 6.3 cm (range 1.5 to 16). All 45 patients had curative resections including 29 distal pancreatectomies, 9 pancreaticoduodenectomy, 5 central pancreatectomy and 2 enucleation. 2 patients required superior mesenteric vein resection due to local tumor invasion. Eight patients had malignant tumors. Ki-67 was detected positive in 5 patients with malignant potential. After a median follow-up of 51.7 months, one patient with malignant SPN had evidence of tumor recurrence.

conclusionSPN is an infrequent tumor, typically affect young women with low malignant potential. Surgical resection is warranted even in the presence of local invasion or metastases as patients demonstrate excellent long-term survival. Positive immunoreactivity for Ki-67 may predict the malignant potential and poor outcome of SPNs.
