Hemosuccus Pancreaticus: A Serious Complication of Chronic Pancreatitis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Hemosuccus pancreaticus is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding that usually presents with melena and abdominal pain. It is defined as a hemorrhage from the ampulla of Vater passing through the main pancreatic duct toward the second portion of the duodenum. Imaging is usually required to establish a diagnosis, and angiography continues to be the gold standard for both treatment and diagnosis. In some instances where bleeding is uncontrolled or if the patient is unstable, surgery may be required. Physicians should have a high index of suspicion, especially in patients with a history of chronic pancreatitis, as this diagnosis is associated with a very high mortality rate if left untreated. We report a case of a 67-year-old male with a known history of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic pseudocyst who presented with melena and right upper quadrant abdominal pain and was found to have hemosuccus pancreaticus secondary to a gastroduodenal artery bleed. He underwent successful angiographic embolization and was discharged home after ensuring resolution of bleed and improvement in symptoms.
