Pancreaticopleural fistula in children with chronic pancreatitis: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundPancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is a very rare and critical complication of pancreatitis in children. The majority of publications relevant to PPF are case reports. No pooled analyses of PPF cases are available. Little is known about the pathogenesis and optimal therapeutic schedule. The purpose of this study was to identify the pathogenesis and optimal therapeutic schedule of PPF in children. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 13-year-old girl who suffered from intermittent chest tightness and dyspnea for more than 3 months; she was found to have chronic pancreatitis complicated by PPF. The genetic screening revealed SPINK1 mutation. She was treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic retrograde pancreatic drainage (ERPD); her symptoms improved dramatically after the procedures.
conclusionsPPF is a rare pancreatic complication in children and causes significant pulmonary symptoms that can be misdiagnosed frequently. PPF in children is mainly associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP); therefore, we highlight the importance of genetic testing. Endoscopic treatment is recommended when conservative treatment is ineffective.
