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

Background: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) of the pancreas are uncommon, low-malignancy neoplasms. Moreover, the occurrence of extrapancreatic SPNs is rarely encountered. Case summary: A 45-year-old female presented with a right upper abdominal mass and abdominal pain for 3 and 1 months as chief complaints, respectively. Initially, the patient was misdiagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma based on her symptoms and results of physical and imaging examinations. Following multidisciplinary discussion and ruling out surgical contraindications, a decision was taken to proceed with surgical intervention. Interestingly, the tumor was found to originate from the retroperitoneum and had invaded the right half of the liver and the right wall of the inferior vena cava. The operation was uneventful, and the pathological findings confirmed the tumor as an extrapancreatic SPN. The patient remained asymptomatic after 15 months of follow-up. Conclusion: Surgical treatment remains the preferred option for extrapancreatic SPN. The preoperative misdiagnosis also highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and the development of appropriate treatment strategies for liver masses.
