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

A variety of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions of the pancreas can present with a predominantly cystic architecture. These lesions are increasingly being detected as incidental findings on routine cross-sectional imaging following technological advances in these techniques and their widespread use. The different histopathological behaviors show various common and uncommon imaging findings, and some cases show similar appearance in spite of different histopathology. Each lesion requires specific management because of the differing risk of progression to malignancy, and an accurate imaging diagnosis is crucial. The typical imaging characteristics that differentiate pancreatic cystic lesions have been well described and fully summarized. However, in addition to a small percentage of cases that shows uncommon imaging findings, a substantial percentage of cystic lesions shows overlapping imaging findings that can lead to radiological misdiagnosis. For appropriate diagnosis and optimal treatment strategy, it is important to know the uncommon and overlapping imaging findings of these lesions, in addition to familiarity with the typical aspects. In this article, we reconfirm the well-known characteristic imaging features of pancreatic cystic lesions and present several diagnostically challenging cases, focusing on the uncommon and overlapping imaging findings.
