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

Osteoclast-like giant cell tumor of the pancreas is very rare. We report a 78-year-old male who was previously treated for large mantle cell lymphoma, was found to have an increased uptake in a peri-pancreatic node from his restaging PET scan. Endoscopic ultrasound-directed fine-needle aspiration of the mass and lymph node revealed an undifferentiated carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells. Osteoclast-like giant cell tumors of the pancreas are frequently found to be unresectable at diagnosis due to their large size (>5 cm). In our patient, due to its small size (<3 cm) sub-total pancreatectomy was performed. Three years from the surgery, the patient is doing well without recurrence. This case report intends to increase provider awareness that in the setting of new pancreatic lesions in a patient with previous history of lymphoma, a high index of suspicion for a primary pancreatic lesion should be included in the differential diagnosis.
