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

introductionPancreatic mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) is a rare tumor. We report herein a case of pancreatic MANEC with cystic features. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 67-year-old woman presented with jaundice. A CT scan revealed an 18-mm mass at the pancreatic head that obstructed the common bile duct and another 35-mm cystic lesion containing a mural nodule in the pancreatic body, which was suspected to be an intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma. A biopsy of the head mass led to the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, and the body cyst was resected with the head mass. A histopathological analysis revealed that the body cyst had two components, ductal adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor. We diagnosed the cystic tumor as MANEC. DISCUSSION: Cases of MANEC have been reported as originating from the stomach, small intestine, and colon, but pancreatic MANEC is rare. The histogenesis and the therapeutic strategy for pancreatic MANEC are controversial.

conclusionThe clinicopathological features of pancreatic MANEC remain unclear; therefore, more reports of cases of pancreatic MANEC are necessary for a complete analysis.
