Pancreatogastric fistula in chronic pancreatitis: a rare and life-threatening cause of recurrent massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

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.
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
Pancreatogastric fistulas are rare but serious complications of chronic pancreatitis that can lead to life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding due to erosion of nearby blood vessels. We present a case of a 43-year-old man with chronic calcific pancreatitis and a history of alcohol misuse, who experienced recurrent hematemesis and melena over 2 months. Despite multiple endoscopies and transfusions, the bleeding source remained unidentified until imaging revealed a fistulous tract between the pancreas and the posterior gastric wall. After failed endoscopic control, surgery confirmed the fistula and bleeding vessel, which were managed with vessel ligation and gastric resection. This case underscores the need to consider pancreatogastric fistulas in patients with chronic pancreatitis and unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, particularly when standard investigations are inconclusive and conservative measures fail.
