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

objectiveWe aimed to evaluate retrospectively the effect of soluble recombinant human thrombomodulin (rTM) on prognosis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

methodsBased on Japanese diagnostic criteria of acute pancreatitis and DIC, patients who entered our intensive care unit (ICU) were selected. Comparisons were made between patients treated with rTM (rTM group) and without rTM (control group).

resultsA total of 38 patients were selected, and rTM was administered to 13 patients. Mortality on the 60th day after entering the ICU was significantly lower in the rTM group (15%) as compared with the control group (56%) (p=0.036). Although the platelet count was significantly lower in the rTM group at the start of treatment, the reversal rate from DIC was significantly higher than in the control group (rTM 62%, control 24%, p=0.035). According to logistic regression analysis of therapeutics, only rTM contributed to survival on the 60th day (odds ratio, 12.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.80-160; p=0.009).

conclusionIn patients with severe acute pancreatitis complicated by DIC, it was suggested that rTM might improve the prognosis of survival, even if the platelet count was markedly reduced.
