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

A 61-year-old woman with no significant previous medical history presented to an urgent care facility with generalised rash, flushing and abdominal pain after eating mahi-mahi. She was diagnosed with an allergic reaction and discharged home. Later she experienced severe acute abdominal pain and multiple episodes of vomiting, which prompted her to go to the hospital. On admission, the patient had an elevated white count, lipase, amylase and C reactive protein with normal liver enzymes and bilirubin. Imaging showed acute pancreatitis that was suspected to be secondary to scombroid poisoning. This was confirmed by elevated immunoglobulin E and histamine levels. The acute pancreatitis was treated with pain management and supportive treatment. Scombroid poisoning is a well-recognised disease, however, acute pancreatitis secondary to this is rare as only two cases have been reported in the literature, one with codfish and the second an unknown type of fish.
