Factors predisposing to severe acute pancreatitis: evaluation and prevention.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
aimTo analyze factors predisposing to the infections associated with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and to work out ways for its prevention.
methodsTotal 208 cases of SAP treated in this hospital from Jan. 1980 to Dec. 2001 were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsStatistical difference in the incidence of the aforementioned infections was found between the following pairs: between the groups of bloody or non-bloody ascites, paralytic ileus lasting shorter or longer than 5 days, Ranson scores lower or higher than 5, hematocrit lower or higher than 45 %, CT Balthazar scores lower or higher than 7 and between 1980.1-1992.6 or 1992.7-2001.12 admissions (chi(2)>3.84, P<0.05), while no statistical difference was established between the groups of biliogenic and non - biliogenic pancreatitis, serum amylase <200 U/L and > or =200 U/L, serum calcium <2 mmol /L and > or =2 mmol/L or groups of total parenteral nutrition shorter or longer than 7 days (chi(2)<3.84, P>0.05).
conclusionOccurrence of infection in patients with SAP is closely related with bloody ascites, paralytic ileus > or =5 days, Ranson scores > or =5, hematocrit > or =45 % and CT Balthazar Scores > or =7, but not with pathogens, serum calcium and total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Comprehensive prevention of pancreatic infection and practice of individualized therapy contribute to reducing the incidence of infection.
