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

It is well established that individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) may develop exocrine pancreatic dysfunction (EPD) requiring pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, whereas the converse relationship has been poorly studied. Pancreatitis is a disease that is well suited to investigate the latter as it is often characterized by the development of EPD and/or new-onset DM. The aim was to investigate the association between EPD and the risk of new-onset DM in individuals after the first attack of pancreatitis. Using nationwide pharmaceutical dispensing data and hospital discharge data, this cohort study included a total of 9,124 post-pancreatitis individuals. EPD was defined as having two or more dispensing records of pancreatic enzymes. Considering EPD as a time-dependent variable, multivariable Cox regression analysis was conducted. A 1-year lag period between EPD and DM was introduced to minimize reverse causality. Age, sex, ethnicity, alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, social deprivation index, Charlson comorbidity index, and use of proton pump inhibitors were adjusted for. In the overall cohort, EPD was associated with a significantly higher risk for new-onset DM (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.83; 95% confidence interval, 2.37-6.18). The association remained statistically significant when a 1-year lag period was applied (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.51; 95% confidence interval, 1.38-4.58), as well as when the analysis was constrained to mild acute pancreatitis (4.65; 2.18-9.93). The findings suggest that individuals with EPD, even those without extensive mechanistic destruction of the pancreas, are at an increased risk for new-onset DM. Purposely designed studies are warranted to investigate mechanisms behind the association and if the mechanisms could be targeted therapeutically.
