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

Tumours of the spleen are uncommon, and most are metastases from primaries in other organs. Primary splenic malignancies are subdivided into two main groups: lymphoid and non-lymphoid. Primary splenic cystadenocarcinomas are extremely rare, and only reports of the mucinous variant exist. We present the case of a female in her eighth decade of life who was found to have an incidental complex splenic mass with a cystic component, which showed an interval increase in size on serial imaging. After further investigation, including positron emission tomography (PET), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and laparoscopy, she successfully underwent distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and partial gastrectomy for a suspected locally invasive pancreatic malignancy. Histology and immunohistochemical analyses were consistent with the first recorded case of primary serous cystadenocarcinoma of the spleen in the literature.
