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

A 14-year-old boy presented with fever and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis based on computed tomography findings. The patient had neither diarrhea nor bloody stool but was diagnosed with microcytic anemia. Endoscopic examination revealed a cobblestone pattern and longitudinal ulcer scars in the jejunum. However, no abnormal findings were observed in the ileum or colon. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration was performed from pancreatic body-tail. Pathological examination revealed no evidence of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). It was unclear from pathological examination whether idiopathic pancreatitis had self-limitedly improved or whether it was AIP localized to the pancreatic head. The patient was diagnosed with asymptomatic small-bowel Crohn's disease (CD), which may have been two unrelated events of acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis may precede a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease. CD with only jejunal involvement (Montreal classification L4) is extremely rare, and we were able to diagnose it early.
