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 36-year-old female presented with recurrent attacks of alcohol-related acute on chronic pancreatitis complicated by a pancreatic pseudocyst in the head of the pancreas. The cyst was causing obstruction of the common bile duct (CBD) and pancreatic duct (PD) on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). She underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided aspiration of the cyst to dryness. A few months later, she presented with epigastric pain and jaundice. MRI pancreas and MRCP revealed a pancreatic cyst in the head of the pancreas, which had grown in size, compressing the CBD and PD with extra and intrahepatic biliary dilatation. There was a recurrence of a new lobulated peripancreatic pseudocyst, which had ruptured resulting in a large collection compressing the right renal capsule. Percutaneous drainage of the ruptured pseudocyst was performed, followed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) that revealed distal CBD stricture, which was stented. Her symptoms improved and she was discharged with no further recurrences of obstructive jaundice during the one-year follow-up period.
