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 pseudocysts are organized fluid collections without epithelial lining, usually containing pancreatic juice or liquefied necrotic tissue. Advances in imaging techniques, particularly ultrasound and computed tomography, have significantly improved the diagnosis and management of these cystic lesions. In recent years, minimally invasive approaches such as endoscopic drainage and interventional radiology have become important therapeutic alternatives. Laparoscopic cystodigestive anastomosis is also increasingly used in selected cases. We report a rare case of spontaneous fistulization of a pancreatic pseudocyst into the duodenum. The diagnosis of such fistulization remains challenging due to its rarity and the absence of specific symptoms. This case highlights the possibility of managing spontaneous pancreatic pseudocyst fistulization using endoscopic techniques alone, without the need for surgical intervention. This minimally invasive approach emphasizes the importance of endoscopy in the management of complex pancreatic fluid collections.
