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

backgroundAutoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare form of autoimmune-mediated pancreatitis, which is easily misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer and thus treated surgically. We studied the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with type 1 AIP recently admitted to our hospital, and reviewed the literature to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis of AIP. CASE SUMMARY: The chief complaint was yellowing of the body, eyes and urine for 21 d. The patient's clinical presentation was obstructive jaundice and imaging suggested pancreatic swelling. It was difficult to distinguish between inflammation and tumor. Serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) was markedly elevated. IgG4 is an important serological marker for type 1 AIP. The patient was diagnosed with AIP, IgG4-related cholangitis, acute cholecystitis and hepatic impairment. After applying hormonal therapy, the patient's symptoms improved significantly. At the same time, imaging suggested that pancreatic swelling subsided, and liver function and other biochemical indicators decreased. The treatment was effective.

conclusionIn patients with pancreatic swelling, the possibility of AIP should be considered.
