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

objectivesThe preoperative diagnosis between serous cystadenomas (SCAs) and mucinous cystadenomas (MCAs) in pancreas is significant due to their completely different biological behaviors. The purpose of our study was to examine and compare detailed contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) images of SCAs and MCAs and to determine whether there are significant findings that can contribute to the discrimination between these two diseases.

methodsFrom April 2015 to June 2016, 61 patients (35 patients with SCAs and 26 patients with MCAs) were enrolled in this study. Forty-three cases were confirmed by surgical pathology and 18 by comprehensive clinical diagnoses. All of the CEUS characteristics of these lesions were recorded: size, location, echogenicity, shape, wall characteristics, septa characteristics, and the presence of a honeycomb pattern or nodules. CEUS examinations were performed by two ultrasound physicians.

resultsLocation (

conclusionsThe characteristics of tumor location, shape, thickness of the wall, the number of septa, and the honeycomb pattern by CEUS play an important role in the diagnosis of SCAs and MCAs. A combination of these findings can provide better diagnostic performance in the discrimination of SCAs from MCAs.
