An Autopsy Case of Acute Pancreatitis Caused by Cholesterol Crystal Embolization.
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 4 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
Cholesterol crystal embolization (CCE) shows a poor prognosis and it can cause ischemic organ damage due to a cholesterol embolism from atherosclerotic lesions in large blood vessels. Such an embolism mainly affects the kidneys and skin, although cases involving digestive organs have also been reported. We encountered an autopsy case of CCE with damage mainly to the digestive organs, including the pancreas. The patient had non-specific abdominal symptoms or image findings. Symptomatic therapy failed to save him. CCE can involve the digestive organs, and so must be differentiated from abdominal pathologies. Moreover, conventional treatments may be ineffective, and new treatments might thus be necessary.
