Mortality from acute pancreatitis. Late septic deaths can be avoided but some early deaths still occur.

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
conclusionIn patients with acute pancreatitis, late "septic" deaths resulting from infection of pancreatic tissue can be avoided, but some early deaths are unavoidable owing to serious multiorgan dysfunction often combined with age or other comorbid conditions.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted of 105 patients admitted to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary with the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis over a 2-yr period (January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1997).
resultsSix patients admitted during the study period died with a mortality rate of 5.7%. All patients died within 6 d of admission and received care in the intensive care unit. All presented with serious comorbid medical problems and/or developed early multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Ten patients underwent pancreatic necrosectomy with no mortality.
