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

introductionSevere acute pancreatitis (SAP) has a high mortality rate of 20% to 30%, with death often resulting from hemorrhage.

aimTo investigate the role of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and endovascular embolization in the management of arterial bleeding in SAP patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsSeventy-six patients with SAP admitted to our hospital between January 2010 and May 2016 underwent DSA. DSA revealed arterial bleeding in 22 of these patients, who were treated with transcatheter endovascular embolization with coils and/or gelfoam particles. Patient demographics, angiographic features of vascular abnormalities, and outcomes of embolization were assessed.

resultsArterial bleeding was the most common vascular abnormality (22/76 patients; 28.9%). DSA enabled the identification of 27 bleeding arteries in 22 patients. The splenic artery was the most commonly affected vessel (11/27; 40.7%). Among the 27 arteries treated with endovascular embolization, successful hemostasis was achieved in 96.3% (26/27). Two patients developed major complications (hepatic and splenic abscess). These patients were treated with abdominal catheter drainage and anti-infection measures and ultimately recovered. The mean interval between initial onset of SAP and angiographic diagnosis of arterial bleeding was 56 days. Rebleeding was diagnosed in 5 patients (5/22; 22.7%) during repeat angiography, with bleeding from new sites in four of these patients. The mean interval between successive angiography treatments was 38 days.

conclusionsEndovascular embolization is a safe and effective method to localize bleeding arteries and achieve complete hemostasis in patients with SAP-related arterial bleeding.
