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 woman in her 80s was evaluated for a liver mass. She had a history of what was reported as pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma resected with a pancreatoduodenectomy 10 years prior at another institution. Liver biopsy showed metastatic pancreatoblastoma (PB) and staging imaging showed no evidence of additional metastatic disease. She underwent laparoscopic non-anatomic partial hepatectomy and recovered uneventfully. The liver pathology was reviewed along with slides from her initial pancreatoduodenectomy, and both were noted to be consistent with PB. PB contains similar histological characteristics to pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma. Distinguishing between the two diagnoses is critical for accurately defining the prevalence, clinical course and prognosis associated with PB.
