Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction with Repeated Pancreatitis Due to Protein Plugs in a Short Period.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 70-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital 1 month prior to presentation with acute pancreatitis due to pancreaticobiliary maljunction. After discharge, she was referred for elevated hepatobiliary enzyme levels. She was diagnosed with an acute pancreatitis flare-up. Computed tomography revealed dilation of the common duct compared to the previous admission. Considering the protein plug formation as the cause, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed after improvement. ERCP revealed a defect in the duct, suspected to be caused by protein plugs, which were removed using a balloon after endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation. An analysis revealed that this component was a protein. No recurrence of pancreatitis was observed after the treatment.
