Can pancreatic steatosis affect exocrine functions of pancreas?
Article in The Turkish journal of gastroenterology : the official journal of Turkish Society of Gastroenterology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsPancreatic steatosis (PS) is a generally used term to define accumulation of fat in the pancreas. In theory PS may be able to affect the exocrine function of pancreas. In this study we aimed to determine the effect of PS on exocrine pancreas function. MATERIALS AND
methodsForty-three patients with PS determined by 3 tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 48 patients without PS were included in this study. Patients with PS were classified as group 1 and control patients were classified as group 2. Fecal elastase-1 levels were determined. Fecal elastase-1 levels <200 μg/g were defined as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). Patients with PS were further grouped according to severity and anatomic distribution of steatosis based on findings of 3 tesla MRI.
resultsFecal elastase-1 levels was significantly lower in group 1 compared to group 2 (319.76±45.7 vs 549.31±69.4, respectively, p=0.003). Proportion of patients with EPI was significantly higher in group 1 than group 2 (35.5% vs 12% p=0.042). There were no significant differences in terms of severity or the anatomic distribution of PS in patients with PS with EPI based on MRI (p=0.052, p=0.198, p=0.405) Conclusion: Current study demonstrates that PS can cause EPI.
