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: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) secondary to pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) is extremely rare, making diagnosis and treatment of this condition challenging. Case presentation: We present a case of a 67-year-old gentleman diagnosed with a malignant degeneration of IPMN, treated with neoadjuvant systemic therapy, followed by total pancreatectomy. Twelve months after his surgery, he was found to have two capsular hepatic lesions on surveillance imaging. Biopsy confirmed pseudomyxoma peritonei, and the patient subsequently underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Discussion: This unique case highlights the importance of post-operative surveillance for surgically resected IPMNs and understanding the role for CRS and HIPEC as an option for treating PMP secondary to IPMNs. Conclusion: Although PMP secondary to IPMN is extremely uncommon, it can occur months to years after initial surgery, and for patients in whom complete cytoreduction is achievable, CRS and HIPEC may represent a viable treatment option.
