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.
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 encountered a case demonstrating a high confluence of the pancreaticobiliary ducts with frequent acute pancreatitis recurrence in the absence of alcohol consumption and gallstones. The patient presented to our hospital after 12 acute pancreatitis episodes and was subsequently admitted with acute pancreatitis which was diagnosed to be severe by computed tomography grade according to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare severity criteria 2008. After recovery, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed an 8-mm common duct only during papillary sphincter relaxation; therefore, a high confluence of the pancreaticobiliary ducts was diagnosed. No recurrence of pancreatitis was observed after extrahepatic cholangiectomy or cholecystectomy. A high confluence of the pancreaticobiliary ducts should be considered when patients present with recurrent pancreatitis. Additionally, surgery should also be considered in such cases.
