ReviewEndoscopic ultrasound
Pancreatic duct imaging during aging.
Review in Endoscopic ultrasound. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
As part of the aging process, fibrotic changes, fatty infiltration, and parenchymal atrophy develop in the pancreas. The pancreatic duct also becomes wider with age. This article provides an overview of the diameter of the pancreatic duct in different age groups and different examination methods. Knowledge of these data is useful to avoid misinterpretations regarding the differential diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis, obstructive tumors, and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN).
