1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 patient with cystic fibrosis (CF) with pancreatic insufficiency presented with jaundice due to an ampullary tumour. CF is known for a higher incidence of gastrointestinal malignancies. The patient suffered from pancreatic insufficiency. At computed tomography (CT), pancreatic lipomatosis with absence of the pancreatic duct was seen. This is uncommon, also in patients with CF. During surgery, a total pancreatectomy was performed, because there was no possibility to construct a duct to mucosa anastomosis due to the absence of the pancreatic duct and more importantly the pancreas was already afunctional. The presence of lipomatosis increases the risk of leakage at the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis. Therefore, it is important to take this phenomenon, in this case already visible on the preoperative CT scan, into account during the workup for surgery.
