Review in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

CT and MRI are the imaging modalities of choice to guide the clinical management of incidentally discovered pancreatic cysts. Most of these lesions are mucinous cysts with varying degrees of malignant potential. This article reviews the CT and MRI findings that help differentiate a potentially aggressive lesion that requires EUS or surgery from a lesion of low malignant potential that is appropriate for imaging surveillance. The imaging-based societal guidelines for these cysts are reviewed.
