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

backgroundAlthough there are numerous reports focusing on surgical indication for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), the recurrence patterns following surgery are less widely reported. To ascertain optimal treatment and postoperative surveillance for IPMN patients, we analyzed patterns and risk factors for recurrence after surgery for IPMN.

methodsThis study is a retrospective, multi-institutional, observational study, including 1074 patients undergoing surgery for IPMN at 11 academic institutions. We analyzed the risk factors for recurrence after classifying postoperative recurrences into metachronous high-risk lesions (malignant progression of IPMN and/or metachronous pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma) in the remnant pancreas and extra-pancreatic recurrence.

resultsOf 1074 patients undergoing surgery for IPMN, 155 patients (14.4%) developed postoperative recurrence. We found that 34.3% of 70 high-risk lesions in the remnant pancreas occurred over 5 years after surgery, and survival of 36 patients undergoing second operation for high-risk lesions was better than that of 34 patients who did not (P = 0.04). We found four independent risk factors for metachronous high-risk lesions in remnant pancreas: symptoms [P = 0.005, hazard ratio (HR) 1.988], location of pancreatic body/tail (P < 0.001, HR 3.876), main duct size ≥ 10 mm (P = 0.021, HR 1.900), and high-grade dysplasia/invasive intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC) (P < 0.001, HR 3.204). Although six patients (0.7%) with low- or high-grade dysplasia IPMN developed extra-pancreatic recurrence, invasive IPMC was the strongest risk factor for extra-pancreatic recurrence (P < 0.001, HR 39.667).

conclusionWe suggest that life-time continuous surveillance might be necessary for IPMN patients. Second surgery for metachronous high-risk lesions in remnant pancreas should be considered to improve survival.
