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

We retrospectively reviewed histopathological and immunohistochemical data from patients with mixed exocrine-neuroendocrine intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas identified at a single centre between December 2023 and June 2026. Surgical specimens underwent detailed evaluation, including mucin profiling (MUC1, MUC2, MUC5AC) and neuroendocrine markers (synaptophysin, chromogranin A). Ten patients (median age 68.5 years, range: 31-78 years; 6 male) presented mainly with abdominal pain, weight loss, or jaundice. Most lesions were intestinal type IPMNs with focal or interspersed neuroendocrine components. Mucin expression patterns aligned with established subtype profiles, and neuroendocrine differentiation was confirmed immunohistochemically. Only one of the lesions met the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNEN) due to the non-invasive IPMN component. This case series highlights a distinct subset of mixed non-invasive IPMN-neuroendocrine tumours not currently recognized in WHO classifications. We propose recognition of this entity to improve diagnostic precision and guide management.
