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 dermoid cyst is an extremely rare benign neoplasm of the pancreas. Pre-operative diagnosis is often difficult due to its rarity and overlapping features with other pancreatic cystic neoplasms. We report a case of a 55-year-old male with an incidental finding of a lobulated complex cystic lesion in the tail of the pancreas on imaging and the challenges to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Due to suspicious features on imaging and elevated CA 19-9 tumour marker, surgical resection was recommended at the Pancreatic Multidisciplinary Team Meeting. The patient subsequently underwent a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy which confirmed a dermoid cyst.
