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 solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) are uncommon tumors that rarely exhibit aggressive behavior. Given disease rarity, comprehensive studies to understand tumor biology, clinical course, and optimal management are limited. We describe an unusual case of a 55-year-old man with metastatic pancreatic SPN, where whole-genome and transcriptome analyses of the primary tumor and a metastatic liver lesion revealed a shared homozygous non-canonical mutation in APC. The patient received upfront modified FOLFIRINOX (infusional 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin) chemotherapy due to rapidly progressive symptoms, demonstrating an early and sustained treatment response. Therefore, we identified potential genetic determinants of tumorigenesis and progression in a pathologically and clinically aggressive SPN, which may have important prognostic and treatment implications.
