Needle tract seeding and abscess associated with pancreatic fistula after endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
We present the first report of needle tract seeding with simultaneous abscess associated with pancreatic fistula occurring after endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). A 72-year-old woman complained of fever 18 days after EUS-FNA for PDA of the pancreatic tail with a retention cyst. An abscess associated with pancreatic fistula containing necrotic debris formed in the EUS-FNA needle tract was successfully treated with endoscopic drainage and antibiotics. Distal pancreatectomy with partial gastrectomy was performed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Complete resection was achieved but peritoneal lavage cytology was positive for cancer. Pathology of the resected specimen revealed cancer cells invading the gastric submucosa at the EUS-FNA puncture site from the serosal side. The lining of the retention cyst was free of cancer cells. Liver metastases and peritoneal carcinomatosis were seen 3 months after surgery. While needle tract seeding has recently received attention as a complication of EUS-FNA, endoscopists should also be alerted to the possibility of abscess associated with pancreatic fistula after EUS-FNA for PDA.
