Autoimmune pancreatitis: Imaging features.
Article in Endoscopic ultrasound. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesAutoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) remains a difficult disease to diagnose before treatment, particularly if presenting as a focal mass lesion. The purpose of this multicenter retrospective study is to analyze imaging features of histologically confirmed AIP to determine the additional diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound (CE-EUS), and elastography to B-mode features. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe report on a retrospective data collection of 60 histologically confirmed cases of AIP in comparison to 16 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDAC). All CE (-E) US examinations were assessed by two independent readers in consensus. The role of CEUS and CE-EUS for pancreatic evaluation was defined according to the 2011 European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology guidelines.
resultsAfter injection of ultrasound (US) contrast agents, most AIP lesions displayed focal or diffuse isoenhancement (86.6%) in the arterial phase, while most of the PDAC lesions (93.7%) were hypoenhancing (P < 0.01). During the late phase, most AIP lesions were hyper-(65%) or iso-enhancing (35%), while most PDAC lesions were hypoenhancing (93.7%). CE-EUS was performed in a subset of ten patients and showed hyperenhancement in all AIP cases. Most focal AIP lesions (n = 27, 79.4%) were stiffer than the surrounding pancreatic parenchyma.
conclusionsIn this study, percutaneous and endoscopic contrast enhanced harmonic US techniques consistently revealed diffuse and focal types of AIP to have features consistent with vascularized lesions. Differentiation from the typically hypovascularized pancreatic adenocarcinoma was possible with CE (-E) US evaluation.
