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

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP) is a rare exocrine pancreatic neoplasm accounting for less than 2% of cases, predominantly affecting young women. This article presents 4 cases of SPTP occurring in women aged 19-33 years, all with tumors located in the head of the pancreas and varying in size from 5 cm to 11 cm. Three patients presented with abdominal pain, and one was asymptomatic with incidental discovery during pregnancy. Imaging revealed well-defined, encapsulated pancreatic masses with cystic components and no signs of vascular invasion or metastasis. All patients underwent surgical resection-3 with Whipple's procedure and one with tumor enucleation-and histopathology confirmed SPTP. Postoperative recovery was uneventful in all cases, and no recurrence was noted during follow-ups ranging from 2 to 5 years. These cases underscore the importance of considering SPTP in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic masses in young women and highlight the excellent prognosis following complete surgical excision.
