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

Although ofloxacin-ornidazole fixed-dose combination (FDC) is a rampantly used antibiotic combination for mixed-infection diarrhea in India, the adverse drug reaction (ADR) associated with these FDCs remains underreported. Herein, the authors present a case report of a definitive ofloxacin-ornidazole FDC-induced pancreatitis. The nonalcoholic adult male patient showed a sharp piercing epigastric pain flowing to the back, gradually rising in severity, which started after taking ofloxacin-ornidazole FDC tablet over the counter. Serum lipase concentration measured in the emergency room was 635 units per liter (normal range- 13-60 units/L) and serum amylase was 377 units/L (normal range- 30-110 units/L). Ultrasonography and an axial computed tomography of the abdomen confirmed the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Ofloxacin-ornidazole FDC tablet was stopped immediately. Past treatment records confirmed accidental rechallenge. In conclusion, this is a first case report of ofloxacin-ornidazole FDC-induced pancreatitis.
