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

Autoimmune pancreatitis is an increasingly recognized inflammatory type of subacute pancreatitis; two subtypes of autoimmune pancreatitis have been identified so far: the "lymphoplasmacytic" type 1 variant and the "neutrophilic" type 2 variant. Type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis represents the most common manifestation of IgG4-related disease, a fibro-inflammatory disorder characterized by elevated IgG4 levels in the serum and affected tissues. Type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis is a pancreas-specific disorder that frequently occurs in the context of inflammatory bowel diseases. Due to the complexity of both diseases, a comprehensive work up with imaging, laboratory, and histological studies is required to achieve a diagnosis and rule out malignancies. Glucocorticoids represent the cornerstone of the treatment, often supported by other immunosuppressive drugs in case of steroid intolerance or aggressive disease. Maintenance treatment is often employed in type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis because of the higher relapse rate compared with type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis. In this review, we summarize the key concept of autoimmune pancreatitis, delve into the differential diagnosis between the two subtypes, and cover the recent relevant research findings and pressing unmet needs.
