Article in Gut, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03820531 (DNA-mutation Analysis by Next Generation Sequencing in Cyst Fluid of Suspected Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasia of the Pancreas Obtained by Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Aspiration), which is not on this map. Cited by 174 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.

Abstract

objectiveDNA-based testing of pancreatic cyst fluid (PCF) is a useful adjunct to the evaluation of pancreatic cysts (PCs). Mutations in

designOver 43-months, 626 PCF specimens from 595 patients were obtained by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-fine needle aspiration and assessed by targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS). Molecular results were correlated with EUS findings, ancillary studies and follow-up. A separate cohort of 159 PCF specimens was also evaluated for

results
