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

Internal pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) stents are used to reduce complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy but may rarely migrate. We report a case of PJ stent migration directly into the hepatic parenchyma. A 67-year-old woman with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma developed recurrent cholangitis after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Initial obstruction was relieved with endoscopic gastrojejunostomy using a lumen-apposing metal stent. Six months later, imaging revealed PJ stent migration into the left hepatic lobe. Endoscopic removal was successful, but further biliary intervention was deferred due to thrombocytopenia and poor prognosis. This case highlights a novel cause of recurrent cholangitis and emphasizes individualized management in advanced malignancy.
