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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesAlthough solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is rare, its diagnosis has increased severalfold in the past decades. We present our experience in the management of SPT, including a patient who experienced tumor rupture during laparoscopy pancreatic resection.

methodsData on all patients with SPT who were subjected to surgical treatment were retrospectively obtained.

resultsOf 20 patients evaluated, 17 (85%) were females. The mean age was 31 years. Tumor size varied from 2.7 × 1.5 to 13.5 × 10.0 cm, with a mean of 6.4 × 7.6 cm. The most common location was the tail and/or body of the pancreas (14 patients [70%]). Pancreatic tumor resection was performed in 19 patients (50%). The type of resection depended on tumor location and size: distal pancreatectomy (n = 13), pancreatoduodenectomy (n = 5), and central pancreatectomy (n = 1) Pancreatic resection was performed via laparoscopy in 7 patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy. Tumor resection was not performed in only 1 patient (5%), due to invasion of mesenteric vessels and presence of liver metastases. One patient had tumor rupture during laparoscopic resection, with no apparent macroscopic dissemination of the tumor. All 19 patients who underwent SPT resection had no tumor recurrence, including a patient with capsule invasion and another patient with tumor rupture during surgical dissection. The mean follow-up time was 38 months (range, 6-72 months).

conclusionComplete SPT resection is possible in most patients, with a low recurrence rate. Because of its large size, laparoscopic resection of SPT's should be performed only by experienced surgeons to avoid tumor rupture.
