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

backgroundThe treatment strategy for pancreatic pseudocysts (PPC) is comprehensive and warrants multidisciplinary participation. However, at present, the treatment concepts for PPC are inconsistent. Moreover, the timing of interventional therapy is unclear, and complication management is insufficient. Therefore, the development of a multidisciplinary expert consensus on PPC is warranted. At present, endoscopic treatment is recommended for managing PPC in American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline and Chinese Consensus guidelines. CASE SUMMARY: In this study, we present a rare case of PPC identified by endoscopy and imaging examination, and successfully managed by endoscopic and percutaneous drainage. In detail, an obese patient with a history of recurrent pancreatitis presents an irregular, elliptical cystic low-density shadow in the pancreatic region. Endoscopic ultrasound combined with double knife incision technique was used to endoscopic drainage, resulting in a favorable prognosis.

conclusionUltrasound-guided endoscopic drainage for the management of PPC may provide additional insights to current clinical guidelines.
