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

Cytokines are secreted immunomodulating proteins involved in pancreatic stellate cell activation and propagation of fibrosis in chronic pancreatitis. We aim to show that cytokines can be identified from pancreatic fluid by (1) collecting pancreatic fluid with the ePFT method, (2) processing the fluid for cytokine-targeted microarray analysis, and (3) comparing cytokine profiles in pancreatic fluid of chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients and of chronic abdominal pain (CAP) controls. We endoscopically collected pancreatic fluid from patients with CP and those with CAP using the ePFT method. This fluid was subjected directly to a multiplexed cytokine protein microarray assay. Six patients (3 CP, 3 CAP) underwent a secretin-stimulated ePFT. The mean peak bicarbonate concentrations [meq/L] of the CP and CAP patients were 43 and 97, respectively. Statistically significant decreases in the cytokine concentrations of EGF, IP-10, eotaxin, IL-3, MIP-1a, IL-15, PDGF-AB/BB, and IL-1a were observed in the CP specimens (p<0.05). We have successfully identified differences in the abundance of cytokines in ePFT-collected pancreatic fluid with a multiplexed microarray assay comparing CP and CAP controls. Further targeted investigation of cytokines in ePFT-collected fluid will broaden our knowledge of pancreatic immune response and pathogenesis in chronic pancreatitis.
