Assessing the Degree of Severity of Acute Pancreatitis by Using Multiparameter Scores.
Article in Current health sciences journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo establish a clinical severity diagnosis and a therapeutical strategy in acute pancreatitis (A.P.) by using multiparameter bioclinical and morphological scores. MATERIAL AND
method71 patients, diagnosed with A.P., between 2012-2016, admitted to the surgical clinics of the Military Emergency Hospital "Dr. Stefan Odobleja" and the Clinical County Emergency Hospital of Craiova, were investigated, following the severity diagnosis, both at admission and in evolution, with the aim of obtaining an optimal therapeutic approach. The Ranson, Imre, Marshall, Balthazar and EPIC scores were used.
resultsBy analyzing specially the values of the computer tomography severity index of the study group patients, 14.29% of patients were classified as light severity AP with favorable prognosis, 37.14% of patients moderate severity AP, and 48.57% severe AP. The examination of the CT, one of the most important diagnosis tests for AP, established that 34.29% of patients suffered from AP in Balthazar grade B and 22.85% Balthazar grade C, the severity forms we encountered most in our study. The correlation between HCT (hematocrit) value and Ranson score presents a Pearson correlation coefficient r of-0.339, which indicates the existence of a statistically significant inversely proportional relation.
conclusionCorroboration of the bioclinical and imagistic data, summed as multiparameter scores, allowed us to classify AP into different severity forms: moderate severity AP (14.29%), moderate-severe AP (37.14%) and severe AP (48.57%), which will then facilitate choosing the right therapeutic approach.
