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

introductionAcute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the urgent diseases of gastroenterology. Due to the growth of the elderly population, the frequency of the disease in the elderly population is also increasing.

aimTo evaluate the contributing factors of mortality in geriatric patients (age ≥ 65 years) and non-geriatric (age < 65 years) patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data of consecutive patients with AP, in the Adana Numune Education and Research Hospital between March 2013 and September 2015.

resultsOf the 602 patients studied, 405 were female and 197 were male and their mean age was 55.2 ±19.5 years. The most common etiological factors were biliary stone, hyperlipidemia and alcohol, respectively. Two hundred and four patients were in the geriatric group and 394 patients were in the non-geriatric group. 84.4% of patients had mild AP, and 15.6% of patients had moderate to severe AP according to the revised Atlanta classification. 91.7% of non-geriatric patients had mild AP while 70.7% of geriatric patients had mild AP (

conclusionsAcute pancreatitis in the geriatric population shows a more severe course than the non-geriatric population. Geriatric patients have longer duration of hospital stay and higher mortality than non-geriatric patients.
