The clinical feature and outcome of groove pancreatitis in a cohort: A single center experience with review of the literature.
Review in Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi = Turkish journal of trauma & emergency surgery : TJTES, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it

Abstract
backgroundGroove pancreatitis (GP) is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis that is less common and is now gaining awareness with multimodal imaging modalities. Our aim is to analyze the mid-long term outcomes of patients diagnosed with GP with different treatment approaches.
methodsA computerized search from electronic patient record database between May 2013 and June 2019 with the keywords 'groove', 'paraduodenal' was applied. The clinical, radiological and pathological data of 25 patients diagnosed with GP were obtained.
resultsIn the GP patient group, the median age was 55 (25-87) and 80% was male. Alcohol and tobacco abuse was 40% among GP patients. The most common symptoms were upper abdominal pain (84%) and nausea-vomiting (40%), respectively. Gastric outlet obstruction was observed in 4 (16%) patients. CT and EUS imaging were performed to majority of cases (96% and 92 %, respectively). EUS-FNA was done in 14 of 25 (56%) patients. It was reported as atypia, adenocarcinoma and benign in 2 (8%), 2 (8%) and 10 (40%) patients, respectively. EUS-FNA was helpful to diagnose two pancreatic head adenoCA whose preliminary radiological evaluation was GP. The mean follow-up period was 29 (3-71) months. Conservative approach was the predominantly preferred treatment (%56). Apart from conservative approach, treatment strategies included biliary stenting, sphincterotomy, wirsung stenting via ERCP, cholecystectomy etc. Considering all treatment modalities, symptoms improved in 12 (48%) patients and progressed with recurrent pancreatitis attacks in 7 (28%) patients.
conclusionBecause GP is a less well-known form of pancreatitis, it presents several challenges for clinicians in diagnosis and treatment. This form, which can mimic pancreatic malignancy in particular, must be differentiated from carcinoma. EUS(±FNA) is a useful diagnostic tool complementary to imaging. Although the conservative approach remains the first choice in most patients, the clinician should consider invasive endoscopic procedures and surgical options in special cases when necessary.
