Image Findings of Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasms of the Pancreas on Multiphasic Multidetector CT Scan-A Single Institute Experience from Southern India.
Article in Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionSolid Pseudopapillary Neoplasms (SPN) are uncommon pancreatic tumours and are slow growing with uncertain malignant potential, showing female preponderance. Postoperative prognosis is good and metastasis is rare.
aimTo summarise the imaging and pathological features of seven cases of SPN in three years period, from January 2013 to January 2016. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this retrospective study the imaging features of seven cases on triphasic multidetector Computed Tomogram (CT), a 16-slice scanner, were reviewed along with CT-guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and histopathological examination. Statistics were expressed in terms of percentiles.
resultsAll cases were female patients with an age range of 13-35 years (mean: 23.3 years). On CT assessment, the size of the tumours varied from 2.5-14 cm (mean: 5.3 cm). All these tumours were well capsulated and round to oval in shape. In four out of seven cases, the tumour was located in the tail of pancreas. All the solid enhancing portions showed moderate enhancement of at least 20-30 HU compared to unenhanced scan, on the other hand the cystic parts remained unenhanced with <5 HU variation in comparison to the plain scan. Histopathological examination exhibited characteristic poorly cohesive cuboidal cells arranged in papillaroid pattern having fine nuclear chromatin with nuclear grooves.
conclusionSolid pseudopapillary neoplasm is a high diagnostic possibility in case of a young female having pancreatic mass and needs to be evaluated with triphasic contrast enhanced CT scan, followed by FNAC and or histopathological examination.
