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

objectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic performance of the bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) score in predicting severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). MATERIALS AND

methodsA systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane library and EMBASE databases up to May 2014, and 9 related studies, including 1,972 subjects, were reviewed. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnosis of odds ratio (DOR) and hierarchic summary receiver-operating characteristic (HSROC) curves, as well as the area under the HSROC curve (AUC), were assessed using the HSROC and bivariate mixed effects models. Moreover, a subgroup analysis stratified by cutoff value was performed to measure the effect of the diagnostic threshold on the performance of the BISAP score. Finally, publication bias was assessed using Deeks' funnel plot asymmetry test. Statistical analyses were performed using the STATA 12.0 software.

resultsThe pooled sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR and DOR of the BISAP for predicting SAP were 64.82% (95% CI: 54.47-73.74%), 83.62% (95% CI: 70.03-91.77%), 3.96 (95% CI: 2.27-6.89), 0.42 (95% CI: 0.34-0.52) and 9.41 (95% CI: 5.38-16.45), respectively. The AUC was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.73-0.80). Moreover, the subgroup analysis results demonstrated that the BISAP cutoff point at 3 had a higher specificity and greater accuracy than at 2 to predict SAP. No significant publication bias was detected across the studies (p = 0.359).

conclusionThe BISAP score showed low sensitivity but high specificity for assessing the severity of acute pancreatitis.
