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

backgroundTransduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) is not in wide clinical use due to its low radical effect and a high recurrence rate of tumors. However, TDA is still an effective treatment method; it has great clinical value in cases of duodenal benign tumors, precancerous lesions, and benign and malignant borderline tumors, and can avoid the risks associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy with larger resection range and greater thoroughness than endoscopic papillectomy.

aimTo investigate the surgical method choice and the coincidence rate of pathological diagnoses in TDA for ampullary neoplasms.

methodsTen patients with ampullary neoplasms underwent TDA based on the fact that their endoscopic biopsy results suggested benign lesions, and the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-assessed tumors were resectable. All cases underwent duodenal ampullary lesion endoscopic biopsy, intraoperative frozen-section pathological examination, and postoperative pathological examination.

resultsThis study included seven patients with benign tumors and three with malignant tumors (1 pTis, 2 pT1), according to the postoperative pathology results. The coincidence rate of the postoperative pathology results with the intraoperative frozen-section biopsy results was 100% (10/10), and the coincidence rate with the endoscopic biopsy results was 70% (7/10) based on pathological characteristics. The endoscopic biopsy false-negative rate was 30% (3/10). All patients were followed for 6 to 70 mo without tumor recurrence or metastasis.

conclusionThe coincidence rate of postoperative pathology results, intraoperative frozen-section pathology results, and endoscopic biopsy results is the restraining factor of TDA clinical application. Endoscopic biopsy results and EUS have importance relevance to surgical planning. Intraoperative frozen-section pathology results have a significant influence on the choice of surgical procedure.
