Abnormal Anatomic Variation of Pancreaticobiliary Union in Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography Department of Radiology and Imaging in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.

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
Introduction: The knowledge of the variations of the abnormal anatomy of pancreaticobiliary union is of great importance for understanding various pathologies of the biliary tract, gall bladder, and pancreas as well as to avoid surgical complications and morbidity which may arise from pancreaticobiliary maljunction. Moreover, it helps in the early diagnosis and preventive treatment of pancreaticobiliary disease. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of abnormal anatomic variations of the pancreaticobiliary union in magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography examinations. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was done in patients referred for Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography examinations for various clinical indications from 1 February 2021 to 30 May 2021. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee [Reference number: 306 (6-11)E 2 077/078]. The variations in the pancreaticobiliary union, length of the common channel, and angle between the common bile duct and major pancreatic duct were obtained from the 1.5T magnetic resonance scanner in 90 patients. The three‑dimensional magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography images were visually analyzed and classified into four categories. Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 90% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Out of 90 patients, 73 (81.11%) (74.34-87.88, 90% Confidence Interval) patients had abnormal pancreaticobiliary union with pancreaticobiliary type as the most common occurrence seen in 33 (36.67%) patients. Conclusions: The prevalence of abnormal anatomic variation of pancreaticobiliary union was found to be higher than other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: common bile duct; main pancreatic duct; magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.
