Agenesis of the Dorsal Pancreas: A Rare Cause of Diabetes and Recurrent Upper Abdominal Pain.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas is a rare congenital disorder with only a handful of cases described in the literature. It presents a diagnostic dilemma. Cross-sectional imaging is the cornerstone for diagnosis. It could have a syndromic association with polysplenia and cardiac anomalies. Pancreas divisum and chronic pancreatitis may present with similar symptoms and must be ruled out. We present a case of a 55-year-old male with recurrent non-specific abdominal pain and diabetes mellitus. He was managed with insulin and painkillers for symptomatic relief. We also reviewed approximately 68 cases described in the literature to date.
