Major and minor complications of the pancreas after transcatheter arterial embolization using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate for acute bleeding from pancreatic arteries.

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
purposeThe purpose is to investigate the major and minor complications of the pancreas after transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) for bleeding from pancreatic arteries. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty-three patients who underwent TAE using NBCA for acute bleeding from pancreatic arteries and their parent arteries followed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) were evaluated retrospectively. Complications and risk factors were assessed using Mann-Whitney U test or Fisher's exact test for the univariate analysis. Patients' characteristic, embolized artery, procedure details, and clinical outcomes were examined as possible risk factors.
resultsTAE was performed successfully in all patients. Minor pancreatic complications occurred in 10 patients (30%), including acute mild pancreatitis (n = 4) and focal lack of pancreatic parenchymal enhancement on CE-CT without pancreatitis (n = 6). No cases of major pancreatic complications, such as moderate/severe pancreatitis, were reported. Embolized artery was the only significant risk factor. The rate of complications per embolized artery were 15% (three out of 20 patients) in the arteries of the pancreatic head and 54% (seven out of 13 patients) in the arteries of pancreatic body and tail (p = 0.025).
conclusionTAE using NBCA for acute bleeding from pancreatic arteries is efficacious and safe. Mild pancreatic complications were observed more frequently in case of embolization of the pancreatic body and tail region than the pancreatic head.
