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 calcification is a hallmark structural change of chronic pancreatitis. However, few reports have described extensive diffuse pancreatic calcification that develops within a relatively short period after acute pancreatitis and is incidentally detected during urological evaluations. We report the case of a 34-year-old man who presented with urinary frequency, gross hematuria, and the passage of sand-like material in his urine. He had smoked five cigarettes per day and consumed alcohol on approximately 10 occasions per month since the age of 29 years, when abnormal liver function was noted on routine tests, and he developed acute pancreatitis at the age of 31 years. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography performed at that time revealed no pancreatic calcifications. At the current presentation, he was diagnosed with acute bacterial prostatitis, and a urine culture yielded
