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

Annular pancreas is an uncommon congenital anomaly which is a rare cause of congenital duodenal obstruction. It is normally identified during the neonatal period, but may also be identified in adolescence or adulthood. This diagnosis is often overlooked in adult patients who present with symptoms suggestive of duodenal obstruction. We present a case of AP detected in a 23-year-old man, with complaints of continuous vomiting and abdominal discomfort over the last 6 months. An upper gastrointestinal study revealed a constricted second part of the duodenum. A computed tomography scan revealed a complete ring of pancreatic tissue around the second part of the duodenum. Diagnostic and therapeutic surgery decompresses the external obstruction. The patient had an early post-operative activation. No specific guidelines and protocols exist about the management of such cases. Given the rarity of this congenital anomaly, presenting with chronic partial duodenal obstruction, and its successful surgical treatment, have prompted us to report the case along with a brief review of literature about the subject.
