Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundLaparoscopic transection of the pancreatic neck with enucleation of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) in the uncinate process and pancreatic reconstruction represents a novel surgical approach for managing pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. This technique may provide a new therapeutic option for patients with benign or low-grade malignant tumors in the pancreatic uncinate process. This study aimed to assess this procedure's short- and long-term clinical outcomes and delineate its technical operative details.
methodsFor a 42-year-old man, branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) was diagnosed. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed an irregular cystic lesion in the cephalad portion of the pancreatic uncinate process, with no enhancement on post-contrast imaging. Abdominal MRI demonstrated the irregular cystic lesion (38 × 18 mm), showing suspected communication with the pancreatic duct. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) showed a multicystic lesion in the pancreatic uncinate process measuring up to 40 mm in maximum diameter, with heterogeneous wall thickness and well-defined margins. The patient subsequently underwent laparoscopic transection of the pancreatic neck with enucleation of IPMN in the uncinate process and pancreatic reconstruction.
resultsThe patient experienced a biochemical leak postoperatively, with a daily drainage volume of approximately 20 mL. The drainage volume gradually decreased, and the drain was removed on postoperative day 10, followed by hospital discharge. At this writing, follow-up evaluations have shown no complications such as steatorrhea, secondary diabetes, or dyspepsia. A contrast-enhanced CT scan of the entire abdomen showed no abnormalities. Morphologic and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the diagnosis of IPMN with mild epithelial dysplasia.
conclusionLaparoscopic transection of the pancreatic neck with enucleation of IPMN in the uncinate process and pancreatic reconstruction represents a safe and effective surgical approach for managing pancreatic uncinate process IPMN.
