Multiorgan Failure Predicts Mortality in Emphysematous Pancreatitis: A Case Report and Systematic Analysis of the Literature.
Review in Pancreas, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Emphysematous pancreatitis (EP) is a subtype of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) characterized by the presence of gas in and around the pancreas. Although investigators have studied prognostic factors in ANP, less is known about EP. We aimed to determine predictors of mortality and identify changes in management strategies for EP. A PubMed search was performed to identify EP cases. Data were gathered about patient demographics, clinical findings, laboratory results, radiological studies, procedures, outcomes, and mortality. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Including a case from our institution, the study cohort included 64 subjects. The overall mortality rate was 32.8% (21/64). On univariate analysis, age (P = 0.019), hypotension (P = 0.007), gas outside the pancreas on computed tomography imaging (P = 0.003), initial surgical evacuation (P = 0.007), and the development of multiorgan failure (P = 0.008) were associated with mortality. On multivariate analysis, only the development of multiorgan failure was found to be an independent predictor of mortality (P = 0.039). The overall mortality rate of 32.8% for EP is similar to the mortality rates published for ANP. The development of multiorgan failure in EP is strongly associated with increased mortality. Percutaneous and endoscopic approaches have been replacing surgical interventions.
