Surgical Interventions in Chronic Pancreatitis: A Systematic Review of Their Impact on Quality of Life.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of surgical interventions in improving the quality of life for patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). A thorough literature search, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, identified 11 studies that focused on patient-reported outcomes after surgical treatments, including pancreatic resections, drainage procedures, and duodenum-preserving head resections. The findings indicate that organ-preserving procedures, notably the Frey and Beger operations, significantly enhance pain control and overall quality of life while reducing analgesic dependency. This review provides crucial insights into the long-term efficacy and comparative benefits of different surgical approaches, highlighting the need for personalized surgical strategies in CP management. It emphasizes the necessity for standardized outcome measures and further comparative research to refine CP treatment protocols.
