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

rationalePancreas divisum is a congenital anatomical anomaly resulting from failure of fusion of the Santorini and Wirsung ducts during fetal development, with a prevalence of 5% to 14% in the general population. Although usually asymptomatic, it is associated with chronic and recurrent pancreatitis. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 47-year-old female presented with severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and signs of dehydration for several days, with a delayed diagnosis. DIAGNOSES: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed the main pancreatic duct with a separate estuary over the collecting duct. The accessory pancreatic duct had a common outlet with the collecting duct.

interventionsEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with minor papilla papillotomy and double plastic stent implantation was performed. OUTCOMES: During the 1-year follow-up, the patient remained well without recurrence of pancreatitis. LESSONS: Pancreatitis due to congenital abnormalities is infrequent but should be considered when common causes are not identified.
