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

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious life-threatening condition, especially in high-risk patients. Limited data exist regarding early and late complications of immunosuppressant drugs as a cause of pancreatitis, especially Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF), after transplantation. We report a rare case of late AP secondary to immunosuppressants' synergistic effect after 5 years of renal transplant in an obese patient on day 4 after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). We present a 41-year-old Saudi obese male patient, known to have multiple comorbidities and a renal transplantation twice, was on multiple medications, including Prednisolone, MMF and Tacrolimus for 5 years. On day 4 post-LSG, he developed severe epigastric abdominal pain and was diagnosed to have AP as a late complication of immunosuppressants' synergistic effect. LSG is a common safe procedure, but complications related to medical illnesses or medications can occur. Careful review and sufficient knowledge of early and late complications are required.
