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

Infected walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) is a severe complication of acute pancreatitis. Surgery in these critically ill patients can be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Hence, minimally invasive therapies have emerged as an alternative to surgery. Herein, we report a case of severe acute pancreatitis with WOPN which was treated percutaneously with a flexible endoscope through an esophageal self-expanding metal stent using a total retroperitoneal approach. Percutaneous direct endoscopic necrosectomy (p-DEN) using the retroperitoneal route improved the patient's parameters dramatically with resolution of sepsis without the need for surgery. p-DEN using a flexible endoscope passed through a large bore metal stent shows promise in selected patients with WOPN and can be used in patients who are not ideal candidates for transmural or surgical drainage.
