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

backgroundWe have previously shown that distal pancreatic duct ligation-induced acute pancreatitis in mice is associated with substantial mortality.

methodsWe examined the cause of death in duct ligation-induced acute pancreatitis in mice by serial examination of multiple parameters in three experimental groups: distal pancreatic duct ligation (PD), bile duct ligation alone (BD), and sham operation (S).

resultsBD and S had no mortality, while PD had 94% mortality with most deaths between days 2 and 4. Characteristics of mice with acute pancreatitis included (ANOVA; p < 0.05): extracellular regulated kinase activation in the pancreas and lung; pancreatic neutrophil infiltration and acinar cell necrosis maximal on day 2; increased plasma cytokine and aspartate aminotransferase levels and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid neutrophil count and cytokine levels, peaked on day 3; hypotension and bradycardia were worst on day 4; pulmonary neutrophil infiltration and plasma creatinine level peaked on day 4. Liver injury evidenced by raised aspartate serum transaminase after hepatic obstruction was exacerbated by PD.

conclusionsSystemic inflammation with multiorgan dysfunction causes death in pancreatic duct ligation-induced acute pancreatitis in mice. This experimental model is a suitable experimental analogy of "early severe gallstone pancreatitis" to investigate disease pathogenesis and to evaluate novel therapeutic strategies.
