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

The most frequent pancreatic cysts in patients of developmental age are pseudocysts, neoplastic cysts, posttraumatic cysts, and parasitic cysts. Retention cysts, duplication cysts, and congenital cysts are called true cysts. Among the true cysts, congenital cysts are very rare and include 1% of all pancreatic cysts. The finding of true congenital pancreatic cysts in children under 3 years represents a very rare event; less than 30 have been described in the literature. We describe the case of a 3-year-old male who came to our observation for abdominal pain and underwent an abdomen ultrasound examination. The ultrasound examination showed unilocular sub-centimeter cystic lesions, distributed throughout the pancreatic parenchyma. The patient was, therefore, not subjected to any treatment, and after a few days, the symptoms regressed spontaneously. This description probably represents the first case in the literature of "congenital multicystic disease" of the pancreas.
