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

backgroundSolid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas (SPN-P) are rare, low-grade malignancies primarily affecting young women. While surgical resection is definitive, the optimal balance between oncological radicality and functional preservation remains a clinical challenge. This study evaluates tailored surgical strategies utilizing minimally invasive and parenchyma-preserving techniques. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe conducted a multi-institutional retrospective analysis of SPN-P cases treated between March 2020 and May 2023. Out of 167 pancreatic resections, five paradigmatic cases were identified. We analyzed the decision-making process for preoperative staging (CT/MRI/EUS-FNB), surgical approach (open, laparoscopic, or robotic), and the implementation of parenchyma-preserving versus formal resections.

resultsThe cohort included four females and one male (mean age 40.6 years; range 13-73). Surgical approaches were tailored to tumor location and patient characteristics: two patients underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (one laparotomic, one laparoscopic), two underwent distal pancreatectomy (one robotic, one laparoscopic), and one pediatric patient underwent laparoscopic parenchyma-preserving central pancreatectomy. R0 resection was achieved in all cases. No Grade B/C postoperative pancreatic fistulas (POPF) or complications Clavien-Dindo ≥III occurred. At a mean follow-up (FU) of 38.4 months (range 20-58), the disease-free survival rate was 100%. One patient developed new-onset diabetes mellitus following distal pancreatectomy.

conclusionsA tailored surgical approach-integrating robotic, laparoscopic, and parenchyma-preserving techniques-may enable excellent oncological outcomes while minimizing morbidity. For SPN-P, the choice of procedure should prioritize the preservation of pancreatic function, particularly in young patients, without compromising surgical margins.
