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 fistula is a highly morbid complication of pancreatitis. External pancreatic fistulas result when pancreatic secretions leak externally into the percutaneous drains or external wound (following surgery) due to the communication of the peripancreatic collection with the main pancreatic duct (MPD). Internal pancreatic fistulas include communication of the pancreatic duct (directly or via intervening collection) with the pleura, pericardium, mediastinum, peritoneal cavity, or gastrointestinal tract. Cross-sectional imaging plays an essential role in the management of pancreatic fistulas. With the help of multiplanar imaging, fistulous tracts can be delineated clearly. Thin computed tomography sections and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography images may demonstrate the communication between MPD and pancreatic fluid collections or body cavities. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) is diagnostic as well as therapeutic. In this review, we discuss the imaging diagnosis and management of various types of pancreatic fistulas with the aim to sensitize radiologists to timely diagnosis of this critical complication of pancreatitis.
