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

The spectrum of traumatic and natural disease that can affect the adult pancreas is multiple and varied. Some entities are more commonly encountered in routine forensic pathology practice and the forensic pathologist needs to be very familiar with their pathological features and development from a pathophysiological perspective. However, many of the conditions are extremely rare and may never be encountered in the professional lifetimes of an individual pathologist. Still, forensic pathologists need to be aware of them in case they are one day faced with these entities as possible diagnoses to be established at postmortem examination. This can be the result of clinical concerns raised in life, potential natural disease explanations for unexpected biochemical results, and sudden, unexpected or otherwise unexplained deaths where criminal concern about the exogenous administration of a substance must be considered.
