Type 1 Autoimmune Pancreatitis Extending along the Main Pancreatic Duct: IgG4-related Pancreatic Periductitis.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 herein report a unique form of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) spreading along the main pancreatic duct (MPD). A 70-year-old man was referred for a small lesion at the pancreatic neck, accompanying an adjacent cyst and dilated upstream MPD. Four years earlier, health checkup images had shown a pancreatic cyst but no mass lesion. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed a contrast-enhanced, tumorous lesion, mainly occupying the MPD. With a preoperative diagnosis of ductal neoplasms mainly spreading in the MPD, Whipple's resection was performed. The resected specimens showed MPD periductitis with IgG4-related pathology, indicating type 1 AIP. Clinicians should practice caution concerning the various AIP forms.
