The Aberrant Passage: A Rare Spontaneous Pancreatic Pseudocyst-Portal Vein Fistula.
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
A 45-year-old man with a history of alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis presented with acute abdominal pain and low-grade fever. Initial imaging with contrast-enhanced CT showed a widened portal vein containing fluid that appeared different from a typical solid clot. Further specialised magnetic resonance imaging (MRCP) confirmed a fistula connecting the pancreatic duct directly to the portal vein. On that MRCP imaging, there's evidence of intravascular fluid collection within the portal vein showing homogeneous T2-hyperintense signal characteristics with the adjacent pancreatic fluid, suggesting direct extension. An axial T2-weighted MRI confirmed the existence of the fistula. A review of a previous MRCP performed six months prior showed a pancreatic head pseudocyst already extending into the portal vein, suggesting that the fistula developed gradually over several months. The diagnosis was confirmed by sampling the fluid within the vein, which showed significant levels of pancreatic enzymes.
