Outcome of long interval radiological surveillance of side branch pancreatic duct-involved intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm in selected patients.

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
introductionSide branch IPMN (SB-IPMN) of the pancreas has a malignancy rate between 10 and 20%. We hypothesized that surveillance at longer intervals on selected patients with SB-IPMN might be indicated.
methodsThis is a retrospective study of prospectively collected data of 276 patients presenting from 2000 to 2010. After 2007, we opted to screen our patients with longer intervals, initially at 12 months then 24 months using MR if no "worrisome features" were present.
resultsComplete data sets for 261 patients were analysed and patients were aged 78 (40-91) years. 232 patients had sole SB-IPMN while 92% were incidental (n = 209) and 8% were symptomatic (n = 24). Single SB-IPMN accounted for 84% (n = 195) of all cases; maximum diameter of 15.5 (5-60) mm. The median follow up duration was 46 (32-53) months. Short interval radiological surveillance (3-9 months) was 39% (n = 90), while long interval surveillance (12-36 months) was performed in 61% (n = 142). The rate of pancreatic resection, due to concern for the development of pancreatic cancer, in the short and long interval surveillance groups was 4.4% (n = 4) and 3.5% (n = 5) respectively; p = 0.78.
conclusionOur data suggests no difference in outcome between long and short interval MR surveillance of SB-IPMN patients.
