Hypertriglyceridemia-Induced Acute Pancreatitis in a Patient With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 an uncommon potential complication of severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). We reported a case of a 45-year-old man admitted with HTG-induced AP (HTG-AP). The patient was a known diabetic (glycated hemoglobin levels: 9.5%), his triglycerides level was 3587.2 mg/dl, and the lipase level was 242 IU/L. A CT scan revealed AP. The patient was treated with a low-dose insulin infusion (0.05 unit/kg/hr) with dextrose for six days. His triglycerides came down to 673.1 mg/dl, and he was discharged. Further investigations are needed to understand the efficacy of low-dose insulin in the management of HTG-AP.
