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

Pancreatic pseudocysts are surrounded by a non-epithelialized wall confined to the pancreas and localized to the pancreatic tissue or adjacent pancreatic cavity. In contrast, pancreatic cystic tumors occur less frequently than solid lesions and are often detected incidentally on imaging. Regarding the qualitative diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocysts, it is important to differentiate them from neoplastic cysts. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman with a giant hemorrhagic pancreatic pseudocyst and a suspected cystic pancreatic tumor, wherein distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy with lymph node dissection were performed. The patient was discharged 11 days postsurgery, with a good postoperative course. There are no reports of giant pancreatic pseudocysts larger than 10 cm with hematoma contents. The presumptive diagnosis of pseudocysts based on imaging alone may be difficult. Surgical resection is considered when it is difficult to distinguish a giant pancreatic pseudocyst from a cystic neoplasm.
