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

The association between steroids and pancreatitis has been reported in the literature. However, due to its rarity, it can be challenging to make an early diagnosis. Hence, when diagnosing patients presenting with signs and symptoms of pancreatitis, there should be a high suspicion for medication-induced variants, after ruling out other common causes. In our report, we present the case of an individual with recurrent pancreatitis caused by the use of prednisone for musculoskeletal pain, the probable cause being steroids due to a high Naranjo score. The patient experienced clinical improvement with the resolution of pancreatitis after the steroids were discontinued.
