Asymptomatic versus symptomatic solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas: clinical and MDCT manifestations.

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.
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
backgroundTo delineate the features of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) images and clinical characteristics of pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) of the pancreas in asymptomatic patients and compare these features and characteristics between asymptomatic and symptomatic patients.
methodsThis work is a retrospective study approved by our institutional review board. MDCT images and clinical data of 109 patients with pathologically proven SPTs obtained from October 2008 to October 2016 were reviewed. Patients were categorized into two groups: asymptomatic patients and patients with symptomatic disease. Cases were reviewed to determine the reason for detection, intervention, shape, diameter, location, calcification, encapsulation, internal composition, CT attenuation, enhancement pattern, and tumor pathology. Clinical factors and imaging features were also compared between groups. Statistical analysis was performed using χ2 and t-tests.
resultsData from 49 asymptomatic and 60 symptomatic patients were collected. Asymptomatic SPTs were identified most frequently during routine health examination (18 patients, 36.7%), various screening purposes (12 patients, 24.5%), and traumatic injury (9 patients, 18.4%). Except for a smaller tumor size (5.8 cm in asymptomatic SPTs vs. 7.4 cm in symptomatic SPTs, P = 0.023), the clinical factors or imaging features of asymptomatic patients were very similar to those of symptomatic patients.
conclusionsThe current research is the first single-center study to characterize SPTs in asymptomatic patients. Asymptomatic SPTs are gradually being identified with greater frequency. Although generally smaller in size than that in symptomatic patients, an asymptomatic pancreatic mass with the typical imaging features of SPT may be found, the treatment for which is similar to that for symptomatic patients. Evaluating asymptomatic SPTs requires further systematic and multi-center trials.
