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

backgroundIt is now clear that there are two histological types (type 1 and type 2) of autoimmune pancreatitis (AI P). The histological substance of type 1 AI P is known as lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis (LPSP) or traditional AIP, and type 2 AIP is characterized by distinct histology called idiopathic duct centric pancreatitis (IDCP). Serum IgG4 increase is considered as a marker for type 1 AI P. Far less is known about type 2 and it lacks predicting markers, so it easily leads to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY: The aim of this study was to describe multi-gene mutations in patients with type 2 AI P and its clinical features. MATERIAL AND

methodsThree unrelated patients with type 2 AI P, 10 cases with type 1 AIP, 15 cases with other chronic pancreatitis and 120 healthy individuals were studied. The mutations and polymorphisms of 6 genes involved in chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer - PRSS1, SPINK1, CFTR, MEN1, PKHD1, and mitochondrial DNA - were sequenced. Information of clinical data was collected by personal interview using a structured questionnaire.

resultsNovel mutations were found in the genes encoding for MEN1 (p.546 Ala > The) and PKHD1 (c. 233586 A > G and c. 316713 C > T) from patients with type 2 AIP. What is more, the serum TCR (T cell receptor) level is relatively higher in patients with type 2 AIP than in patients with type 1 AIP and other chronic pancreatitis or normal controls. Weight loss was the major manifestation and no patients had extrapancreatic involvement in type 2 AIP.

conclusionsType 2 AIP may occur with multi-gene mutations. For screening purposes, it is more reasonable to evaluate TCR levels in serum.
