The Surgical Management of Pancreatic Pseudocysts: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Pancreatic pseudocysts, commonly arising as a complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis, present a significant clinical challenge. This narrative review explores the surgical management of pancreatic pseudocysts, emphasizing advancements, techniques, and outcomes. We examine the indications for surgical intervention, including symptomatic pseudocysts, complications such as infection or hemorrhage, and pseudocysts resistant to conservative treatment. Various surgical approaches are discussed, including open surgery, laparoscopic techniques, and endoscopic interventions. The review highlights the evolution of surgical strategies, from traditional cystogastrostomy to minimally invasive methods, and assesses their efficacy and safety. Additionally, we address patient selection criteria, preoperative assessment, and postoperative care. By synthesizing current evidence and clinical experiences, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the best practices in the surgical management of pancreatic pseudocysts, offering valuable insights for clinicians in optimizing patient outcomes.
