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

backgroundWhether to conduct enteral nutrition in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) during the active phase of intestinal stress or to feed during remission remains controversial. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of enteral nutrition within 48 hours after admission in the patients with SAP or predicted severe acute pancreatitis (pSAP).

methodsWe searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library before December 2017. Randomized controlled trials of early enteral nutrition (starting within 48 hours after admission) versus late enteral nutrition or total parental nutrition in severe acute pancreatitis or predicted severe acute pancreatitis were selected.

resultsTen randomized controlled trials containing 1051 patients were included. Comparing early enteral nutrition to late enteral nutrition or total parental nutrition in SAP or pSAP, the pooled risk ratios were 0.53 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.35-0.81, P = .003) for mortality, 0.58 (95% CI 0.43-0.77, P = .0002) for multiple organ failure (MOF), 0.50 (95% CI 0.33-0.75, P = .0008) for operative intervention, 0.75 (95% CI 0.61-0.93, P = .009) for systemic infection, 0.42 (95% CI 0.26-0.69, P = .0005) for local septic complications, 0.84 (95% CI 0.74-0.96, P = .01) for gastrointestinal symptoms. 0.87 (95% CI 0.74-1.02, P = .08) for systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and 1.24 (95% CI 0.66-2.31, P = .50) for other local complications.

conclusionsEnteral nutrition within 48 hours after admission is efficient and safe for the patients with SAP or pSAP.
