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

introductionAccording to the literature exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is relatively common among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Pseudocysts are the most common cystic lesions and may be formed in the setting of acute or chronic pancreatitis. However, whether DM is involved or not in pancreatic cyst formation is still not well established.

aimTo investigate the frequency and risk factors of cystic lesions in diabetic patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsOne hundred and sixty-one patients with DM, with no previous history of pancreatic diseases, were prospectively included in the study. Endosonography followed by fine needle aspiration biopsy was then performed.

resultsFinally, 33 of 161 patients (20.5%) were recognized with cystic lesions of the pancreas. Among them 5 patients were classified as cystic neoplasms, and 28 as pseudocysts. In the group of patients with pseudocysts, cystic lesions were significantly more prevalent in individuals with DM lasting less than 3 years. Prevalence of cystic lesions was significantly higher in metformin users in comparison to other diabetic patients (

conclusionsThe prevalence of cystic lesions in the diabetic population is higher than in the general population. DM seems to play a major role in the process of cyst development, especially in patients without previous history of pancreatitis. Higher prevalence of cystic lesions in early diabetes seems to be the first stage of pancreatic injury. The exact role of diabetes duration and type of treatment should be established.
