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

backgroundA solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is one of the rare pancreatic tumors. It usually occurs in young women. The common clinical presentation of this tumor is nonspecific abdominal pain and an abdominal mass. Since it has low malignancy potential, with complete surgical resection, the outcome is excellent. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 12-year-old Black African female who presented with hemorrhagic shock secondary to bleeding from a ruptured pancreatic head mass after she sustained blunt abdominal trauma. The patient underwent surgery, and a mass excision was done. She had a smooth postoperative course and was discharged on postoperative day 6. The biopsy revealed a solid pseudopapillary tumor.

conclusionAlthough a solid pseudopapillary tumor is a rare occurrence in the pediatric age group, it should be considered in female adolescents presenting with a pancreatic mass. Complete surgical resection suffices for the treatment.
