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

Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) are superior to cross-sectional imaging procedures for detection of low-grade pancreatitis, but detection of duct alterations is more reliable by middle and high-grade chronic pancreatitis than by low-grade. In addition to assessment of alterations in the pancreatic duct, EUS also allows detection of parenchymatous alterations. Because of the risk of post-ERP pancreatitis, ERP has been mostly eliminated from diagnostic procedures. In contrast, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) allows an unrivalled access to interventional treatment of inflammatory alterations of the biliopancreatic duct system, by retrograde, non-penetrable papillae even in the rendezvous procedure with EUS-assisted probing of the Ductus Wirsungianus. Despite the technical success of endoscopic procedures, surgical duct decompression has proven to be superior for relief from pancreatitic pain. Biliary drainage is also more likely to be successful on a permanent basis using surgical procedures than by repeat multi-stenting, at least by calcifying pancreatitis. Peroral transgastral transmural therapy of postpancreatitic necroses opens up further options over surgical removal of necroses.
