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

purposeNo consensus has been reached to define gastrointestinal failure (GIF) associated with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Reintam and colleagues proposed a scoring system of GIF for critically ill patients, but its suitability for patients with SAP is questionable. The present study evaluates a modified GIF score we developed to assess the GIF of patients with SAP.

methodsThe subjects of this study were 52 patients with SAP treated between September 2010 and July 2011. We recorded the Reintam's GIF score, our modified GIF score, the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score, the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, and other clinical values during the first 3 days after admission. The prognostic value of the modified GIF score, for evaluating the severity and outcomes of SAP, was also assessed.

resultsCompared with the Reintam's GIF score, the modified GIF score seemed to be more valuable for predicting hospital mortality (the area under curve, AUC 0.915 vs. 0.850), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (AUC 0.829 vs. 0.766), and pancreatic infection (AUC 0.796 vs. 0.776). Moreover, combining the modified GIF score and the SOFA or APACHEII scores resulted in more accurate prediction of the prognosis of SAP than either score alone.

conclusionThe modified GIF score is useful for assessing gastrointestinal system function, which may serve as an early prognostic tool to evaluate the severity and predict the outcomes of SAP.
