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

Mass forming chronic pancreatitis is very rare. Diagnosis could be done by the pathologic findings of focal inflammatory fibrosis without evidence of tumor in pancreas. A 34-year-old man presented with right upper abdominal pain for a few weeks and slightly elevated bilirubin level on clinical findings. Radiological findings of multidetector-row computed tomography, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with MR cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasonography revealed focal branch pancreatic duct dilatation with surrounding delayed enhancing solid component at uncinate process and head of pancreas, suggesting branch duct type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. Surgery was done and pathology revealed the focal chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and branch duct dilatation. Herein, I would like to report the first case report of mass forming chronic pancreatitis mimicking pancreatic cystic neoplasm.
