Changes in pancreatic exocrine function, fat and fibrosis in diabetes mellitus: analysis using MR imaging.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the relationships between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels with exocrine pancreatic function using cine-dynamic magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and the pancreatic parenchyma using fat-suppressed T1 mapping and the proton density fat fraction (PDFF).
methodsPatients who underwent 3T-MRI and HbA1c measurement were retrospectively recruited. MRI included cine-dynamic MRCP with a spatially selective inversion-recovery (SS-IR) pulse, fat-suppressed Look-Locker T1 mapping and multiecho 3D Dixon-based PDFF mapping. The pancreatic exocrine secretion grade on cine-dynamic MRCP, T1 values, and PDFF were analyzed in non-diabetic (
resultsPDFF was weakly correlation with HbA1c (ρ = 0.30,
conclusionPancreatic exocrine function, T1, and FF showed no correlation with HbA1c. Pancreatic T1 and fat fraction is increased in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This study demonstrates unaffected exocrine function in pre-diabetes and diabetes and confirms that pancreatic parenchymal T1 and FF are increased in patients with diabetes.
