Successful treatment of mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst and pancreatic pleural effusion with endoscopic pancreatic duct drainage: A case report.
Article in DEN open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
An 81-year-old man with chronic pancreatitis was being treated with a protease inhibitor. He developed an acute exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis and dyspnea. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed disruption of the main pancreatic duct, a cystic lesion connecting the mediastinum to the main pancreatic duct, and left pleural effusion. We diagnosed a pancreatic pseudocyst, mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst, and pancreatic pleural effusion. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography showed leakage of contrast medium from the pancreatic body; furthermore, a cystic cavity extending to the mediastinum through a pancreatic duct fistula was visualized. An endoscopic transpapillary nasopancreatic drainage tube was placed in the cystic cavity. Computed tomography showed that the mediastinal pseudocyst and pleural effusion had disappeared. Endoscopic transpapillary pancreatic duct drainage may be useful when a connection between the main pancreatic duct and a mediastinal pseudocyst is confirmed by imaging.
