The clinical value of secretin-enhanced MRCP in the functional and morphological assessment of pancreatic diseases.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Secretin-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (S-MRCP) provides a non-invasive way, with which, to evaluate pancreatic duct (PD) anatomy and exocrine pancreatic function. S-MRCP can be added to the routine pancreas MR examination in equivocal cases. Moreover, it can detect subtle PD involvement, allowing diagnosis of early, rather than end-stage, pancreatic diseases. Although S-MRCP is a valuable non-invasive diagnostic method, it is only performed in a few centres due to relative high cost. Furthermore, less familiarity with its indications, the examination technique, and image interpretation also contribute to its limited use. Thus, the purpose of this article is to explain secretin's mechanism of action, the examination technique, the clinically relevant indications, the advantages, and limitations. Finally, we will focus on image analysis and its role in achieving an early and accurate diagnosis of specific pancreatic and PD diseases.
