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

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging has emerged as a successful technique in the early diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. An 82-year-old male patient suspected of acute pancreatitis refused to undergo intravenous contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography due to a history of previous allergic reactions to contrast medium. He was imaged with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging without the use of oral or intravenous contrast material. Diffuse hyperintensity in the pancreas with a relevant apparent diffusion coefficient map showing diffuse hypointensity was demonstrated. The findings were interpreted as restricted diffusion and were diagnostic for acute pancreatitis. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, an imaging modality that does not involve ionizing radiation and does not require the use of contrast material, can successfully demonstrate the manifestations of acute pancreatitis.
