Pancreatitis, panniculitis and polyarthritis syndrome: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundPancreatitis, panniculitis, and polyarthritis (PPP) syndrome is a rare form of pancreatic disease. It is characterized by bullous erythematous skin lesions and arthritis, and both are triggered by pancreatic malfunction. Few cases have been described in the literature thus far. Due to the inconsistency in its clinical presentation, its diagnosis can be a challenge. Early therapy initiation is essential to reduce mortality; however, there is currently no gold standard for treatment. CASE SUMMARY: A 66-year-old polymorbid male patient presented with several superficial abscesses on both lower legs and painful swelling in the knee. Treatment for septic arthritis and septic skin infection over several weeks failed. His general condition deteriorated gradually and worsened with sudden onset of abdominal pain. A diagnosis of necrotizing pancreatitis was made. He subsequently underwent a laparotomy and drainage of the pancreas. Eventually, our patient improved, and his abdominal complaints, knee pain, and dermal lesions resolved.
conclusionPPP syndrome is rare and easily misdiagnosed, as abdominal symptoms may be delayed or absent. Clinicians should consider PPP syndrome if they encounter refractory panniculitis in combination with joint infection.
