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

Pancreatic schwannomas (PSs) are rare, benign nerve sheath tumors that can be encountered as incidental findings on imaging, and their imaging features overlap with other solid and cystic pancreatic lesions. This often leads to preoperative misdiagnosis. On computed tomography (CT), which is often the first modality to detect these tumors, PS classically appears as a well-defined, round or oval, encapsulated mass without pancreatic ductal dilation when small. Degenerative changes in larger lesions can produce cystic change, septations, calcification, and hemorrhage. In this pictorial essay, we present the CT spectrum of PS through a series of illustrative cases, spanning typical and atypical appearances, to help radiologists recognize this rare tumor and include it as a benign differential diagnosis for pancreatic masses.
