Management of Chronic Pancreatitis with Pancreatic Duct Calculi.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
abstractChronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive inflammatory disorder of the pancreas characterized by irreversible fibrosis and intraductal calculi, leading to recurrent abdominal pain and functional impairment. Here, we present the case of a 37-year-old female, 2 months postpartum with a history of gestational diabetes, who presented with 1 month of worsening epigastric pain radiating to the back, aggravated after meals, and associated with nausea and nonbilious vomiting. Laboratory investigations were unremarkable except for mildly elevated HbA1c, while imaging revealed multiple large calculi within the main pancreatic duct, confirming chronic calcific pancreatitis. Conservative management failed to relieve symptoms, necessitating surgical intervention. She underwent lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (Partington-Rochelle procedure) with intraoperative extraction of ductal calculi. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and at 6-week follow-up, she reported complete resolution of symptoms with improved quality of life. This case emphasizes the importance of timely diagnosis and surgical management in CP with ductal obstruction.
