Clinically Symptomatic Vitamin E-Associated Peripheral Neuropathy: An Overlooked Reversible Neurological Sequela of Exocrine Insufficiency of Chronic Pancreatitis With Type 3c Diabetes.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Diabetes mellitus (DM) after an episode of chronic pancreatitis, known as type 3c diabetes, is becoming an exceedingly common entity. Not only endocrine but also chronic pancreatitis-associated exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is being increasingly described. After pancreatitis, EPI usually manifests as malabsorption with steatorrhea detected by fecal elastase; a high index of suspicion is required to diagnose exocrine sequelae. In fact, clinically symptomatic vitamin E deficiency is especially rare and almost overlooked and underrecognized. Furthermore, subclinical fat-soluble vitamin E deficiency due to EPI is seldom recognised. We report a case of chronic pancreatitis-related sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy due to vitamin E deficiency, which resolved on administration of vitamin E. To the best of our knowledge, chronic pancreatitis-related EPI fat-soluble vitamin E deficiency-associated neurological sequelae have been overlooked and rather neglected in medical literature. In diabetic patients, neuropathy-related symptoms are always clinically attributed as a complication of diabetes per se.
