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

backgroundTo assess the prevalence, risk factors, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of acute pancreatitis (AP) in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).

methodsAll patients diagnosed with HFRS admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2013 to July 2020 were enrolled. Patients with and without AP were compared by two risk stratification models: (1) a multivariate regression analysis using propensity score to adjust for confounding and (2) a propensity-matched nested case-control study.

resultsA total of 346 patients were enrolled in the cohort study, 29 of whom (8.4%) were diagnosed as AP. There was no significant difference between patients with and without AP with regards to common risk factors and presenting signs/symptoms other than gastrointestinal symptoms (p < 0.01). The patients with AP had a significantly higher 90-day mortality rate (24.1% vs. 3.5%, OR 8.9, 95% CI 1.3 to 103.4, p = 0.045), and significantly shorter duration of therapy free-days to 28 day such as RRT and mechanical ventilation free days (p < 0.05, respectively).

conclusionsOur study indicated that AP was independently associated with higher mortality in HFRS patients. While considering the difficulty of early recognition of AP among HFRS patients with similar signs and/or symptoms, further laboratory and imaging studies might help identify these patients at risk of poor clinical prognosis.
