Chronic Idiopathic Pancreatitis and Pancreaticolithiasis.
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
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is an inflammatory syndrome that causes irreversible damage and loss of pancreatic function. A late complication is pancreatolithiasis, which exacerbates pain due to intraductal hypertension. In this work, we demonstrate that given the availability of different non-surgical treatment methods, if we are in the presence of dilated ducts, longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy (Puestow procedure) is the best surgical drainage option. The clinical study is presented through the case of a 56-year-old man with idiopathic CP and recurrent lithiasis. The diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. A lateral pancreaticojejunostomy was performed according to Puestow with Roux-Y anastomosis for ductal decompression. The intervention resolved ductal hypertension by allowing the drainage of liths. The patient was discharged after 10 days with improvement in liver profile and pancreatic enzymes, remaining asymptomatic during six months of follow-up. The Puestow procedure is a current and highly effective technique for refractory lithiasis CP. It is feasible in patients with stones larger than 2 mm, allowing complete functional recovery and preventing secondary complications.
