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

The management of cystic pancreatic neoplasms has increasingly gained clinical attention due to their frequent incidental detection by cross-sectional imaging and their potential for progression to pancreatic cancer. Surgical resection is warranted for all mucinous cystic neoplasms, solid pseudopapillary neoplasms, and main-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms since these lesions harbor a major risk for malignant transformation. For branch-duct IPMN (BD-IPMN), the risk for malignancy is considerably lower so that some lesions may be safely followed while others require surgical resection. The clinical challenge lies in making the correct preoperative diagnosis and estimation of the risk of malignancy in BD-IPMN. Therefore, the existing evidence and current guidelines on the management of cystic lesions of the pancreas are summarized and controversially discussed from a surgical point of view.
