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

Chronic pancreatitis is a severe disabling disease with persistent pain as the most prominent symptom often leading to significant quality of life (QoL) reduction. Current international guidelines propagate a step-up approach in which surgery should only be considered as a last resort in patients with failure of both medical and endoscopic interventions. Accumulating evidence, however, suggests that surgery is superior to endoscopic therapy and that early surgical intervention is beneficial in terms of pain relief, pancreatic function and QoL. Several surgical procedures are available with low morbidity and mortality rates, providing excellent long-term results. The purpose of this review was to present an overview of the surgical treatment options for chronic pancreatitis with a focus on the timing of surgery.
