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

Santorinicele is a cystic dilatation at the terminal end of the pancreatic duct of Santorini, which is a rare condition mostly associated with pancreatic divisum. Patients with Santorinicele may present with recurrent pancreatitis due to elevated intraductal pressure and outflow obstruction of pancreatic secretions. Different imaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), are useful tools in identifying the causes of recurrent pancreatitis, and other pancreatic pathology and anatomical variants. Here, we present a case of recurrent acute pancreatitis caused by pancreas divisum with Santorinicele and discuss the role of medical imaging in the diagnosis.
