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

objectivesThe aim of the present study was to determine the potential for pancreatic calcification in autoimmune pancreatitis by investigating osteopontin and CD44 expression.

methodsHuman pancreatic tissues in normal pancreas, chronic pancreatitis, and autoimmune pancreatitis were obtained from the surgical specimens of 42 patients. Pancreatic tissues from male Wistar Bonn/Kobori rats were also used as an animal autoimmune pancreatitis model.

resultsThe incidences of osteopontin expression in centroacinar cells in chronic pancreatitis with calcification and in autoimmune pancreatitis were significantly greater than that in normal pancreas (P < 0.05). Some cases of chronic pancreatitis and autoimmune pancreatitis expressed CD44 in centroacinar cells and ductal cells. In male Wistar Bonn/Kobori rats, the inflammatory area and percentage of osteopontin-CD44-positive cells increased with advancing age (P < 0.01 or 0.05).

conclusionsThese results suggest that autoimmune pancreatitis has the potential for pancreatic calcification over a long-term clinical course.
