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

According to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma, distal pancreatectomy or pancreatic duct drainage is recommended for grade III traumatic pancreatic injuries. We report a case of traumatic pancreatic injury involving the main pancreatic duct in which this method failed to drain fluid from the area distal to the injury site. A 19-year-old woman presented with a bruised upper left abdomen after a bicycle fall. Computed tomography revealed a linear area of poor contrast in the pancreatic body, leading to the diagnosis of grade III pancreatic injury. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography revealed damage to the pancreatic duct, prompting endoscopic pancreatic stent placement. We added abdominal cavity drainage, peritoneal lavage, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided transgastric pseudocyst drainage. In the patient with pancreatic duct injury, drainage distal to the injury site was unattainable with a pancreatic duct stent; therefore, alternative drainage sites were utilized, thereby obviating the need for surgery.
