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

backgroundPediatric pancreatic tumors are rare and account for < 0.1% of all childhood cancers. The primary treatment for pancreatic tumors is surgical resection. However, because of the lack of knowledge regarding pediatric pancreatic tumors, no comprehensive treatment plans for pediatric pancreatic tumors have been developed.

aimTo compared the clinical features, treatment methods, and prognosis of pediatric pancreatic tumors in Japan with those in other countries.

methodsQuestionnaires were sent to 213 pediatric surgical units in Japan. Pancreatic tumors that were not surgically treated were excluded from the survey. The primary survey investigated the number of patients aged 0-18 years who underwent pancreatic tumor surgery and the type of tumors managed during the 22-year study period (from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2021) by post card. The secondary survey assessed the clinical images, treatment methods, and tumor outcomes

resultsThe primary survey enrolled 228 patients. In the secondary survey, 213 patients were eventually enrolled. The most common type of pancreatic tumor was solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) [

conclusionSPN was more common in Japan than in other countries. Regardless of the histological type, resection is the most effective treatment for pediatric pancreatic tumors.
