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

Solid pseudopapillary tumours of the pancreas and giant splenic cysts are very rare entities, and their coexistence in a young female patient has not been previously reported in the literature. We present the case of a 27-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain and two masses on abdominal imaging. A mass located in the right upper quadrant was biopsied, and histological and immunohistochemical analysis showed a solid pseudopapillary tumour of the pancreas. A giant cystic splenic lesion was also noted. The patient underwent a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy in our referral centre. Margins were negative on histopathological examination. Negative surgical margins were achieved with distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy despite the large size of the pancreatic tumour. The management of solid pseudopapillary tumours of the pancreas is often challenging and the concomitant presence of a giant splenic cyst poses additional challenges to the surgical management of such tumours.
