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

A 59-year-old Thai woman presented with jaundice and massive hematemesis complicated by cardiac arrest. Emergency endoscopy revealed isolated gastric varices type 1, successfully treated with cyanoacrylate injection. Axial imaging demonstrated diffuse pancreatic enlargement with splenic vein compression and distal common bile duct obstruction. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with biliary stenting was performed. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) showed diffuse mixed-echogenic pancreatic infiltration, and EUS-guided biopsy revealed dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with 20 immunoglobulin G4-positive plasma cells per high-power field. Elevated serum immunoglobulin G4 (405 mg/dL) also confirmed type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis. Prednisolone therapy resulted in complete clinical and radiologic resolution at 6-week follow-up.
