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 neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare tumor in children with low malignant potential. It predominantly affects adolescent females and is frequently diagnosed incidentally. We report the case of an 11-year-old girl presenting with acute abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, and anorexia. Physical examination and initial ultrasound were inconclusive. Cross-sectional imaging via computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large, heterogeneous mass in the pancreatic tail. Laboratory evaluation, including tumor markers, was unremarkable. She was managed initially with antibiotics for suspected inflammatory complications. After stabilization, she underwent laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for beta (β)-catenin, CD56, cyclin D1, and synaptophysin, and negative for chromogranin. No regional lymph node metastases were found (pT3N0M0). SPN, though rare in children, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic masses. Surgical resection offers an excellent prognosis. Immunohistochemistry, particularly β-catenin staining, is essential for diagnosis.
