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

Pancreatitis presenting without abdominal pain is very unusual. Here we report a 70-year-old man with chronic calcific pancreatitis presented to us with prolonged fever, arthritis and multiple subcutaneous swellings, but without any abdominal pain or other abdominal symptoms. His serum amylase and lipase were very high. Biopsy from the subcutaneous swellings revealed fat necrosis and CT scan abdomen showed features of chronic calcific pancreatitis. He was managed conservatively with supportive measures, and recovered. There is only scanty information in literature regarding this type of presentation in chronic pancreatitis.
