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

objectiveThe aim of the study was to report the prevalence and predictors of abdominal pain and disability 1 year after an acute pancreatitis (AP) attack.

methodsPatients were prospectively enrolled between December 2012 and April 2016. Enrolled subjects were contacted at a median of 13 months after enrollment. Multivariable regression models were used to determine factors independently associated with abdominal pain at follow-up.

resultsResponse rate was 71% (110/155). Of respondents, median age was 51 years, 58% were female, and 14% had severe AP. At follow-up, 24% of patients reported abdominal pain (65% intermittent, 35% constant), 10% used analgesics regularly, and 6% had regular opioids use. Furthermore, 41% of patients experienced pain-related interference with work or daily activities, and 8% developed disability. On regression analysis, idiopathic etiology (odds ratio [OR], 3.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-13.6) persistent organ failure (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.1-7.9), and recurrent AP (OR, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.1-10.6) were independently associated with abdominal pain at follow-up. Disability at follow-up was associated with younger age, current smoking, and intensive care unit admission (all P < 0.05).

conclusionsAbdominal pain and disability are potential long-term sequelae of AP. Certain pre-existing factors and pancreatitis features are associated with these outcomes at one-year follow-up of AP.
