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 60-year-old woman was investigated for abdominal pain and increasing asthenia. Abdominal CT revealed a 25 mm hypodense cystic lesion in the tail of the pancreas. MRI showed a multiloculated cystic lesion, T1-hypointense and T2-hyperintense lesion, without wall enhancement. Endoscopic ultrasound detected a 25 mm multi-loculated cystic lesion, with regular margin and without pancreatic duct communication. Diagnosis of pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma was discussed and the patient was referred to surgery. She underwent distal pancreatectomy with spleen preservation. Pathological examination revealed the diagnosis of pancreatic mesothelial cyst. Histologically, the cyst was multiloculated, lined by cuboidal epithelium, ovoid nuclei and amphophilic cytoplasm, without mucin deposition or cytological atypia. Immunohistochemistry examination revealed positive staining for cytokeratin 5/6, vimentin and calretinin. At 1-year follow-up, she is in her usual health, without any symptoms.
