Clinical profile and treatment outcomes in autoimmune pancreatitis: a report from North India.
Article in Annals of gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
backgroundAutoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare disease, and data from countries like India concerning its clinical presentation and long-term outcomes are scarce. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical presentation, imaging features and treatment outcomes of patients with AIP.
methodsWe carried out a retrospective analysis of our database to identify patients diagnosed with and treated for AIP at our unit in a tertiary care hospital in North India.
resultsEighteen patients with AIP (mean age: 54.9±11.1 years; 13 male) were evaluated. Of these, 9 (50%) patients had probable type 1 AIP, 2 (11%) patients probable type 2 AIP, and 4 (22%) definite type 1 AIP. Patients with type 2 AIP were significantly younger than patients with type 1 (40.0±2.8 vs. 58.4±9.6 years). In type 1 AIP, other organ involvement was observed in 3/18 (17%) patients, whereas both patients with type 2 AIP had coexisting ulcerative colitis. The diagnosis of AIP was made after resective surgery in 6/18 (33.0%) patients. An accurate diagnosis of AIP could be made in all patients who underwent resection or core biopsy, but cytological examination after endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration could not provide a definitive diagnosis in any patient. Initial treatment with steroids was given to 12 (67%) patients, with a 100% response, but the disease relapsed in 5/13 (38%) patients over a mean follow-up period of 34.2±21.6 weeks.
conclusionAIP is not rare in India and the majority of clinical manifestations, imaging features, treatment response and long-term outcomes are similar to those reported in the literature.
