Minimally Invasive Management of a Giant Pancreatic Pseudocyst Following Acute Pancreatitis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) are a known complication of pancreatitis. According to the Revised Atlanta Classification, these can mature into either a pancreatic pseudocyst or walled-off necrosis (WON), the latter containing solid debris. While many collections resolve spontaneously, large, symptomatic, or complicated ones require intervention. Laparoscopic drainage is a key minimally invasive option. We present the case of a 23-year-old male patient with presumed alcohol-related pancreatitis who developed a giant 18.5 cm PFC. After six weeks of conservative management, a laparoscopic extragastric cystogastrostomy was performed due to persistent symptoms, draining 600 mL of necrotic material, suggesting the collection was consistent with WON. The patient was readmitted 20 days postoperatively for a peripancreatic abscess, which was managed medically. This case highlights the successful laparoscopic management of a large, complex PFC and underscores the importance of structured postoperative surveillance for infectious complications.
