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

backgroundIntrapancreatic accessory spleen (IPAS) shares similar imaging findings with hypervascular pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs), which may lead to unnecessary surgery.

aimTo investigate and compare the diagnostic performance of absolute apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and normalized ADC (lesion-to-spleen ADC ratios) in the differential diagnosis of IPAS from PNETs.

methodsA retrospective study consisting of 29 patients (16 PNET patients

resultsIPAS had a significantly lower absolute ADC (0.931 ± 0.773 × 10

conclusionBoth absolute ADC and normalized ADC values can facilitate the differentiation between IPAS and PNET.
