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

Hemosuccus pancreaticus (HP) is an uncommon and infrequently reported cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It is defined as a hemorrhage into the pancreatic duct, which subsequently drains into the duodenum via the ampulla of Vater. The condition is typically associated with underlying pancreatic pathology, such as pancreatitis, pseudocysts, or vascular abnormalities, including splenic artery aneurysms. Clinically, HP presents with intermittent gastrointestinal bleeding, epigastric pain, and a drop in hemoglobin levels; features that often delay diagnosis due to their non-specific and episodic nature. Early recognition is essential, as the condition carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality if not promptly managed. We present a diagnostically challenging case of HP in a frail patient with multiple comorbidities, highlighting the importance of clinical vigilance and multidisciplinary coordination.
