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

Solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare neoplasm that is typically indolent in nature. Surgical resection is the preferred method of treatment and often associated with a good prognosis. Local invasion and metastasis have been reported in a small subset of patients. Currently, there are limited data on the molecular mutation profile of invasive and metastatic SPN. In this report, we present the case of a 38-year-old female with a locally-invasive and unresectable SPN that, despite exhaustive chemoradiotherapy, progressed to liver metastasis. Pyrosequencing of the primary pancreatic tumor antecedent to metastasis showed an uncommon EGFR mutation at L861Q in the kinase domain of exon 21. This finding, if confirmed in additional cases of metastatic SPN, would support preoperative testing for EGFR mutation analysis to detect aggressive SPNs.
