Mucinous Cystic Neoplasms in Male Patients: Histopathological and Molecular Diagnoses.
Article in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cystic mucinous neoplasms (MCNs) of the pancreas are rare cystic tumors, accounting for approximately 2-5% of all pancreatic neoplasms. They predominantly occur in premenopausal women and are typically located in the body or tail of the pancreas. Due to their potential for malignant transformation, especially in cases associated with invasive carcinoma such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, early detection, complete surgical resection, and rigorous postoperative surveillance are essential. The occurrence of MCNs in male patients is exceedingly rare, comprising only about 2% of reported cases, and often resulting in preoperative diagnostic challenges. Molecular analyses have identified a strong association between KRAS mutations and disease progression in MCNs, underscoring their potential role as prognostic markers despite limited diagnostic utility. In this report, we present two additional cases of MCNs in male patients, highlighting their histopathological features and the ancillary investigations undertaken to support diagnosis.
