Clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcome of pancreatitis, panniculitis, and polyarthritis syndrome: a case-based review.
Review in Clinical rheumatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
A 42-year-old Caucasian female presented with lower limb panniculitis and bilateral ankle arthritis in the absence of abdominal or other localizing symptoms. Abdominal imaging revealed subacute pancreatitis with pseudocyst formation. The clinical manifestations were compatible with pancreatitis, panniculitis, and polyarthritis syndrome (PPP syndrome), a very rare complication of pancreatic disease. The patient improved with conservative treatment for the pancreatic disease and systemic corticosteroids for the cutaneous and articular manifestations. We identified 59 patients with the PPP syndrome from the literature, the majority of patients being male (74.6%) with a median age of 49 (IQR 41-63.5) years. Acute pancreatitis is the most frequent underlying disorder (54.2%), but gastrointestinal symptoms are absent in 45.8% of patients. Pancreatic panniculitis has a predilection for the lower limbs, which are affected in 98.3% of cases. However, the cutaneous lesions may also involve the upper limbs and trunk. Arthritis is typically symmetric and polyarticular in nature, affecting both large and small joints. Of all patients who received treatment, 78.6% had a poor response. Death occurred in 27.1% of cases after a median duration of 8 (IQR 3.5-14) weeks.
