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

We report a case of relapsing pancreatitis in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) with severe duodenal adenomatosis (Spigelman's stage IV). A 58-year-old man who had undergone total colectomy for FAP 18 years earlier was hospitalized for carcinoma arising from the residual rectum. He had experienced several episodes of upper abdominal pain and ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) showed diffuse calcification of the atrophic pancreas, suggestive of chronic pancreatitis. He had severe diabetes mellitus, but had no symptoms of pancreatic exocrine dysfunction. Upper endoscopy showed multiple duodenal adenomas including carcinoma involving the papilla of Vater. To remove these duodenal adenomas and ampullary carcinoma and prevent recurrent pancreatitis, we performed pancreaticoduodenectomy. On pathologic examination, the major duodenal papilla was completely obstructed by the carcinoma, and the minor papilla was also involved by the adenoma. The patient has no evidence of disease and has experienced no pancreatitis in 3 years of follow-up.
