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

introductionInjury to the pancreas may lead to significant morbidity and mortality. We aim to assess pancreatic endocrine and exocrine functions and evaluated morphological regenerations of pancreas following partial pancreatectomy in patients with pancreatic trauma.

methodsThe study was performed between June 2016 and December 2017. Endocrine functions were assessed at the time of admission and at 6 months follow-up with 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), serum insulin and C-peptide levels and HbA1c estimation and exocrine functions were assessed with fecal elastase test. Pancreatic volumetry was done with imaging scan at 1 month and 6 months post discharge.

resultsTwenty patients were studied with a median age of 30 years (range18-48) at the time of injury. All the patients were normoglycemic on admission; only one patient who underwent pancreatic resection developed diabetes mellitus at follow-up. Eight patients (40%) were found to be prediabetic by American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria. Eleven patients (55%) had pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Pancreatic volume increment, from the mean pancreatic volume of 48.65 to 54.29 cm

conclusionsPatients with pancreatic trauma may develop biochemical endocrine and exocrine insufficiencies following pancreatic resection. Pancreatic volume increment requires further research in a larger study.
