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

Visceral artery pseudoaneurysms, particularly those in the gastroduodenal artery (GDA), are rare but serious complications associated with chronic pancreatitis, posing a significant risk of rupture due to their structural fragility. In this case, a 61-year-old male with a history of chronic pancreatitis, alcohol cirrhosis, duodenal ulcer, and COPD presented with persistent abdominal pain and recurrent fevers. Imaging revealed a 7 cm pseudoaneurysm between the GDA and superior mesenteric vein, which was successfully treated with coil embolization. This case highlights the importance of prompt recognition and intervention in managing GDA pseudoaneurysms, particularly when complicated by an arterioportal fistula, and demonstrates the efficacy of endovascular therapy as a minimally invasive treatment option that can significantly improve patient outcomes in complex vascular complications associated with chronic pancreatitis.
