Autoimmune pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer: Epidemiological aspects and immunological considerations.
Review in World journal of gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Ordinary chronic pancreatitis is a well-known risk factor for pancreatic cancer, whereas such an association with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is widely debated. Due to the rarity of the latter disorder, there are few specific clinical and epidemiological studies investigating the relation between AIP and pancreatic cancer, which do not seem to support it. However, these studies are affected by several limitations and, therefore, a link between AIP (and, specifically, type 1 AIP) and pancreatic cancer cannot be ruled out definitively on this basis. Moreover, several immunopathological aspects of type 1 AIP and, in general, immunoglobulin G4-related disease can create an immunological context that may impair the tumoral immunosurveillance and promote the pancreatic carcinogenesis and its progression. In detail, Th2 immunological dominance, type 2 macrophage polarization and basophil infiltration observed in type 1 AIP, may play a permissive role in creating a favorable immunological environment for pancreatic carcinogenesis, in addition to the immunosuppressive therapies that can be used in these patients.
