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 common disease that may involve pancreas and peripancreatic tissues with a prevalence of up to 50 per 100,000 individuals for year. The Atlanta classification was assessed for the first time in 1992 and modified in 2012 in order to describe morphological features of AP and its complications. AP can be morphologically distinguished in two main types: interstitial edematous pancreatitis (IEP) and necrotizing pancreatitis (NEP). This classification is very important because the presence of necrosis is directly linked to local or systemic complications, hospital stays and death. Magnetic resonance (MR) is very useful to characterize morphological features in AP and its abdominal complications. Particularly we would like to underline the diagnostic, staging and prognostic role of T1-weighted images with fat suppression that could be significant to assess many features of the AP inflammatory process and its complications (detection of the pancreatic contour, pancreatic necrosis, presence of haemorrhage). Signs of inflammatory and edema are instead observed by T1-weighted images. MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is necessary to study the main pancreatic duct and the extrahepatic biliary tract and contrast-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows to assess the extent of necrosis and vascular injuries.
