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

Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas (CNPs) are not considered as rare entities any more. Imaging-based population studies attested an overall prevalence of 2 %, but that becomes five times higher on individuals of more than 70 year old. This family of neoplasms includes a wide spectrum of benign, borderline, and malignant lesions whose actual biological behavior has not been completely clarified yet. Moreover, the management of CNPs still represents a challenge for gastrointestinal (GI) specialists. While many CNPs have an indolent behavior that justifies surveillance, others should be resected because of the risk of progression to invasive cancer. Due to the high morbidity related to pancreatic resections, the surgeon should balance very carefully the advantages of a radical resection with the risks of an unrequested dangerous procedure. We reviewed the current issues regarding CNPs, with a particular focus on the clinical and radiological features that are integrated in the current guidelines and that drive the management of these patients.
