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 calculi are the sequelae of Chronic Pancreatitis and can occur in about 50% of patients. These calculi produce the typical pancreatic pain experienced by patients, and pain relief is the most important goal of therapy. Herein, we present two cases of 66- and 39-year-old male patients who had severe abdominal pain associated with calculi obstructing chronic pancreatitis. The two patients were successfully managed with distal pancreatectomy. The decision regarding the management of pancreatic duct stones should be made in a multidisciplinary fashion; it depends on multiple factors. The results of these cases showed that distal pancreatectomy with pancreatico-jejunostomy could be offered as curative treatment for selected patients with obstructive chronic pancreatitis.
