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

Pancreatic panniculitis is a rare form of panniculitis that occurs in a minority of patients with pancreatic disease, including malignancy. We present the case of a 51-year-old male patient admitted to the hospital with acute gallstone pancreatitis. During his admission, he reported the appearance of painful subcutaneous erythematous nodules on his lower limbs. A skin biopsy was done, revealing the presence of "ghost adipocytes," compatible with pancreatic panniculitis. Although the pathogenesis is unknown, it is thought to be associated with circulating pancreatic enzymes and clinically presents with subcutaneous erythematous to brownish nodules, mostly on the lower limbs, that typically resolve with the underlying disease. With the high prevalence of pancreatic disorders, it is very important that clinicians recognize associated skin lesions, as these may even be the presenting symptom of an underlying pancreatic pathology.
