Conservative management of groove pancreatitis - A case report with literature review.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionGroove pancreatitis (GP) is a rare pancreatitis variant affecting the pancreaticoduodenal groove. It typically affects middle-aged men with a history of chronic alcoholism. Diagnosis is often challenging due to its resemblance with the head of the pancreatic carcinoma. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a unique case of GP in a 55-year-old female patient with no history of alcohol consumption. Contrast-enhanced computer tomography revealed the features suggestive of GP. DISCUSSION: This case exemplifies a rare manifestation of GP in a non-alcoholic female, presenting as an acute condition deviating from the common association with male gender and alcohol consumption. GP can be successfully managed conservatively in the presence of diagnostic certainty.
conclusionThe presented case underscores the diagnostic complexity of groove pancreatitis, mainly when encountered in non-alcoholic females. Accurate diagnosis guides effective conservative treatment choices and mitigates the potential for unnecessary interventions.
