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 divisum (PD) is a malformation wherein the majority of affected patients remain asymptomatic or present with complications early in life. Some cases, however, may present in adulthood with recurrent pancreatitis, which makes the diagnosis clinically challenging. Here, we present a rare case of an elderly female with acute-on-chronic epigastric pain secondary to pancreatitis due to PD. During hospitalization, the patient was treated for acute pancreatitis and subsequently discharged with recommendations for corrective surgery. This case is unique particularly due to the older age of onset of symptoms, as well as the lack of exacerbating factors such as drug abuse, alcohol, or obesity. This case highlights the importance of considering PD as a differential diagnosis when managing patients with recurrent pancreatitis regardless of their age.
