Predictive factors for successful ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage in necrotizing pancreatitis.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPercutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) is now regarded as an initial minimal access technique of step-up approach for necrotizing pancreatitis. Factors that led to surgical intervention after initial management with PCD have rarely been reported. This study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided PCD in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis and identify a subgroup of patients where PCD alone would be effective.
methodsWe performed a retrospective review of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis who underwent intervention in West China Hospital from January 1, 2009, to March 31, 2013.
resultsPatients who underwent initial PCD therapy had lower intra-abdominal bleeding rate (41/235 vs. 1/51, P = 0.002), lower enterocutaneous fistula rate (28/235 vs. 0/51, P = 0.004), and lower mortality rate (46/235 vs. 3/51, P = 0.001) when compared with the patients who underwent operative intervention. The successful PCD group had lower computed tomography (CT) mean density of necrotic fluid collection (18 HU vs. 25 HU, P = 0.01) and higher prevalence of walled-off necrosis (20/35 vs. 5/16, P = 0.04) when compared with failed PCD group. Multivariate analysis of the predictors of surgery showed that only CT mean density of necrotic fluid collection [odd ratio (OR) 1.63, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.04-2.94, P = 0.006] was identified as significant factor.
conclusionCT mean density of necrotic fluid collection and the existence of acute necrotic collection could influence the success rate of PCD.
