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

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are precursors of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and may progress to distinct invasive phenotypes depending on epithelial subtypes. Tubular carcinoma, often arising from pancreatobiliary epithelium, is clinically aggressive and resembles PDAC, whereas colloid carcinoma, typically derived from intestinal epithelium, has a more indolent course. Intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasms (IOPN), historically considered a subtype of IPMN, are now recognized as a distinct entity characterized by abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, complex papillary architecture, and unique molecular alterations. Although the heterogeneity of intraductal pancreatic neoplasms (i.e., IPMN, IOPN, ITPN) is recognized, the mechanisms and temporal dynamics underlying their malignant progression remain poorly understood. We report the case of a female patient in her 80s with a pancreatic body cyst first identified in her 40s. After decades of radiologic stability, she underwent a middle pancreatectomy in 2017, which showed a 1.5 cm oncocytic carcinoma (pT1N0) arising from an IOPN. After surgical resection, she remained disease-free for eight years. In 2025, she developed a new pancreatic head cyst and underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, which revealed a colloid carcinoma (pT3N0) arising from an intestinal-type IPMN. Molecular profiling of the 2025 specimen demonstrated shared driver alterations in the intestinal-type IPMN and associated colloid carcinoma (
