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
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (PF) remains a serious complication after distal pancreatectomy (DP), particularly when it is refractory to standard management. Herein, we report a case of refractory Grade C PF following DP for pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma. Despite conservative treatment, repeated image-guided percutaneous drainage, and endoscopic pancreatic duct stenting, the fistula persisted and was complicated by gastroduodenal artery bleeding and duodenal perforation. Given the patient's early postoperative recurrence, poor prognosis, and high surgical risk, further surgical intervention was considered inappropriate. Pancreatic duct stump embolization using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and vascular embolization coils was performed via a pull-through technique connecting the papilla of Vater to the percutaneous drainage route, resulting in successful closure of both the pancreatic duct and duodenal fistula. In selected patients with refractory PF, this approach may serve as a salvage treatment option when conventional therapies have failed or are overwise inappropriate.
