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

Pancreatic pseudocyst is a well-known complication of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Although extension into other anatomical sites is common, extension into the retrofascial space causing an iliopsoas abscess is exceedingly rare. Although its low incidence creates a diagnostic challenge for clinicians, early diagnosis is essential to prevent significant complications and poor patient outcomes. We present a case of iliopsoas abscess with unusual culture fluid growth in the setting of acute on chronic pancreatitis secondary to extension of a pancreatic pseudocyst. We also offer a brief review of the literature and pathophysiology of the condition.
