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

Introduction: Cytological appearances may be insufficient to establish the diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions, especially for premalignant neoplasms. This study aimed to evaluate three commonly used cytological grading systems [C1-C5, Papanicolaou (Pap), and World Health Organization (WHO) classification systems] in assessing pancreatic cystic lesions. Materials and Methods: A total of 210 pancreatic cytology specimens were classified based on the aforementioned grading systems, 127 of which had supporting histology reported across 6 years, at a single-tertiary referral center. Results: We excluded 26 cases because of inadequate cytology. The most common cystic lesions were intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs, Conclusion: The WHO system provides better risk stratification for neoplasms, optimizing surgical management. However, the C1-C5 system does not recognize cystic lesions with malignant potential.
