Increased risk of acute pancreatitis in persons with spinal cord injury: a population-based, propensity score-matched longitudinal follow-up study.
Article in Spinal cord, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study.
objectiveTo evaluate the risk of acute pancreatitis (AP) in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) based on a nationally representative sample.
settingA retrospective cohort study using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database.
methodsDrawing on Taiwan's Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005, the researchers created an SCI group consisting of 2280 persons with SCI aged 20-74 years. Propensity-score matching was then used to generate a non-SCI group of 9120 participants with similar baseline characteristics to the SCI group. These two groups' respective cumulative incidence of AP was compared, and the effect of SCI on AP risk was then assessed using stratified Cox proportional-hazards regression.
resultsFor the SCI and non-SCI groups, the respective incidence rates of AP were 1.34 per 1000 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83-2.05) and 0.79 per 1000 person-years (95% CI, 0.61-1.01). Compared with the non-SCI group, the hazard ratio of AP for the SCI group was 1.96 (95% CI 1.19-3.25, p = 0.0088); and the SCI group's cumulative incidence of AP was significantly higher than that of the non-SCI group (p = 0.0227).
conclusionThis population-based longitudinal follow-up study indicates that there is an increased long-term risk of AP in persons with SCI.
