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

objecivesTo compare the clinical outcome of patients with extrapancreatic necrosis (EXPN) alone with that of acute interstitial pancreatitis (AIP), pancreatic parenchymal necrosis (PPN) alone, and combined PPN and EXPN.

backgroundThere are only a few studies in the literature in which EXPN has been recently recognized as a subtype of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP), with a better prognosis.

methodsWe analyzed clinical data and outcome variables of 411 consecutive acute pancreatitis (AP) patients between January 2012 and December 2014. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) images of each patient were reviewed and characterized as AIP or ANP. Patients with ANP were divided into EXPN alone, PPN alone, and combined PPN and EXPN. Outcome variables were then compared between these groups.

resultsOf the 411 patients, 74 (18%) had AIP, and 337 (82%) had ANP. Patients with EXPN alone (

conclusionPatients with combined PPN and EXPN have a severe disease course with the worst clinical outcomes; patients with AIP patients have the most benign course, while patients with EXPN alone stand between the two extremes of disease course with an intermediate grade of severity.
