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 (CP) is characterized by progressive, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, resulting in loss of exocrine and endocrine function and chronic abdominal pain. In most cases, CP is induced by long-term alcoholism. The second most frequent diagnosis is idiopathic CP, in the absence of known causes of CP. However, the identification of genetic and immunological causes continuously reduces the number of cases classified as idiopathic pancreatitis. Common symptoms of CP comprise abdominal pain radiating to the back, diarrhea, steatorrhea and the development of diabetes. The diagnosis is mainly based on clinical features, typical morphological findings such as pancreatic calcifications, duct stenoses and dilatations, as well as pathologic pancreatic function tests. Treatment of CP includes watch and wait strategies in asymptomatic patients, symptomatic treatment of the clinical features such as pain, exocrine and endocrine insufficiency, as well as interventional or surgical therapy of complications such as pseudocysts, pancreatic duct stenosis, stones or biliary obstruction.
