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

A pancreatic collision tumor is a rare entity that can be challenging to diagnose. We present a very rare case of a pancreatic collision tumor composed of both a neuroendocrine tumor and a ductal adenocarcinoma. Preoperative diagnosis was clinically challenging because both the radiology and fine-needle biopsy were consistent with a typical neuroendocrine mass. However, gross examination of the mass postoperatively revealed neuroendocrine cells with rare foci of ductal adenocarcinoma without a transition zone. Awareness of this entity is important so that medical practitioners consider pursuing surgical management of pancreatic lesions that otherwise would be managed exclusively with surveillance.
