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

Objective: To determine the clinical value of high-frequency ultrasonography (US) in the evaluation and diagnosis of pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) among children. Methods: The clinical subjects consisted of 31 pediatric patients who were diagnosed with PBM from January 2015 to May 2021 in Fujian Provincial Maternity and Children's Hospital. The primary outcomes included diagnosis accuracy, imaging characteristics of each type of PBM based on JSPBM, time length of operation, and cost of service. Secondary outcomes were the serum amylase and bilirubin levels. Results: The diagnostic accuracy of US was 90.3% and comparable to the other imaging methods-MRCP (82.6%), IOC (79.2%), and ERCP (100%), respectively. The time length of operation and direct cost were significantly lower than other imaging pathways. Stenotic type (A) is associated with a high internal diameter of CBD, and dilated channel type (C) presents increased internal diameter and length of CC as well as internal diameter of PD. There were higher levels of the serum bilirubin seen in type A and of serum amylase in type C compared with others. Conclusion: High-frequency US is a safe, cost-effective, and non-invasive imaging tool for the diagnosis and evaluation of PBM in pediatrics.
