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

Circumportal pancreas is a rare and previously not well-recognized anatomical variant. In contrast, pancreas divisum is the most frequent anatomical variant in the pancreas. We report a case in which circumportal pancreas was accompanied with pancreas divisum in a deceased donor for islet transplantation. A unique aspect of our case is that the connecting portion behind the portal vein between the pancreas head and body originated from the ventral pancreas. This is the first case report describing a ventral embryogenic origin of the connecting portion of a circumportal pancreas accompanied with pancreas divisum.
