The Distribution and Predictive Factor of Extra-Pancreatic Malignancy Occurrence in Patients with Pancreatic Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm-A Ten-Year Follow-Up Case-Control Study in Taiwan.
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 AND
aimsA higher incidence of extra-pancreatic malignancies (EPMs) in patients with pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) than in the general population has been shown in several studies. We suppose that EPMs also occur after IPMN has been diagnosed, but few reports have discussed the risk factors that have been identified, except for old age, which was only noted in one study. Our study aims to recognize the distribution of EPMs in Taiwanese patients with a longer duration of follow-up and investigate the risk factors to predict EPMs in IPMN patients.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 114 patients with pancreatic IPMN from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2014 in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. The characteristics of the patients were all recorded. Different EPMs are demonstrated as occurring before, concurrently with, or after IPMN diagnosis. The risk factors were compared between patients with or without an EPM.
resultsAfter an average follow-up duration of 10.45 years, 47 EPMs occurred in 42 patients (36.8%), and over half were found after IPMN was diagnosed (55.3%). The most common EPMs were colon cancer and lung cancer (21.3%). Moreover, cyst size progression was highly associated with EPM occurrence (
conclusionsColon cancer and lung cancer account for the majority EPMs in Taiwan. EPMs were also frequently found after IPMN diagnosis when the follow-up duration was prolonged up to 10.45 years. Cyst size progression is a risk factor of EPM after IPMN diagnosis and we suggest a cut-off value of 1 cm for clinical utility.
