Spontaneous Rupture of Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionPancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) are rare tumors, accounting for 1%-3% of all pancreatic tumors, with a predilection for young women. Owing to their often asymptomatic nature, SPNs are typically discovered incidentally. Spontaneous rupture of SPNs is extremely rare, with few reported cases. Herein, we report a case of spontaneous SPN rupture and review the literature on similar cases. CASE PRESENTATION: A 17-year-old girl presented with sudden, severe left upper abdominal pain and hemorrhagic shock. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a 13-cm heterogeneous pancreatic tail tumor with internal extravasation and massive ascites, indicative of intraperitoneal hemorrhage. The patient underwent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. Histopathological examination confirmed SPN with no vascular invasion. Immunohistochemistry was positive for β-catenin, CD10, CD56, and synaptophysin, with a low Ki-67 index (1%-2%). The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on postoperative day 13.
conclusionsSpontaneous SPN rupture is an exceedingly rare occurrence, and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Ruptured SPNs may pose a higher risk of recurrence and peritoneal dissemination, necessitating long-term follow-up. Further studies are needed to elucidate the factors influencing SPN rupture and its long-term implications.
