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

purpose of reviewWe reviewed the current state of total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) for chronic pancreatitis and recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP). RECENT

findingsAn increasing number of centers in the United States and internationally are performing TPIAT. In selected cases, TPIAT may be performed partially or entirely laparoscopically. Islet isolation is usually performed at the same center as the total pancreatectomy surgery, but new data suggest that diabetes outcomes may be nearly as good when a remote center is used for islet isolation. Ongoing clinical research is focused on patient and disease factors that predict success or failure to respond to TPIAT. Causes of persistent abdominal pain after TPIAT may include gastrointestinal dysmotility and central sensitization to pain. Several clinical trials are underway with anti-inflammatory or other islet protective strategies to better protect islets at the time of infusion and thereby improve the diabetes results of the procedure. SUMMARY: In summary, there is an increasing body of literature emerging from multiple centers highlighting the benefits and persistent challenges of TPIAT for chronic pancreatitis and RAP. Ongoing study will be critical to optimizing the success of this procedure.
