Acute-on-Chronic Pancreatitis: Analysis of Clinical Profile and Outcome.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
objectiveOverall, a handful of studies are available on the outcomes of acute-on-chronic pancreatitis (ACP). We aimed to provide a more complete and updated picture of ACP.
methodsWe evaluated consecutive patients of acute exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis (CP) in a tertiary care center located in north India and studied their epidemiological profiles, etiological factors as well as outcomes.
resultsForty-five patients of ACP with a mean age of 37±13 years were evaluated. The majority of the patients were male (75%) and alcohol was the most common detectable etiology while no etiology could be identified in 35% of patients after extensive laboratory investigations and imaging. Moderately severe pancreatitis was noted in 73% of patients and 49% of patients had necrotizing pancreatitis out of which the majority (33%) had both pancreatic as well as extra-pancreatic necrosis (EPN). Five patients (11%) were subjected to percutaneous catheter drainage. Persistent organ failure was noted in 9% of patients and two (4.5%) patients had died from organ failure.
conclusionTo conclude, this study has demonstrated that ACP has a milder disease course and low morbidity and mortality. Early elimination of the etiological factor is essential for optimal outcome.
