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

backgroundWe aimed to evaluate the value of ischemia modified albumin (IMA) as a prognostic marker in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients, determine whether it is efficient in assessing the disease severity or not, and to estimate the correlation between IMA and the inflammatory markers, prognostic markers and scoring systems routinely used in clinical practice.

methods100 adult patients (18 years and older) who have been hospitalized and evaluated with AP diagnosis in Tepecik Training and Research Hospital,, Department of Gastroenterology, between April 1, 2017 and April 1, 2018 have been enrolled in the study. Patients have been stratified disease etiology (biliary or non-biliary). The non-biliary group has been divided into subgroups as alcoholic, lipemic, or idiopathic. Disease severity has been categorized as mild, moderate, or severe pancreatitis according to the Atlanta classification. Ranson, Harmless Acute Pancreatitis Score (HAPS), Bedside Severity Index for Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) scores have been determined for each patient. Patients have been grouped as necrotizing or edematous according to the Atlanta classification.

resultsAccording to our findings, IMA has been found to be correlated with disease severity, Ranson and BISAP scores, and procalcitonin levels. We have observed that some laboratory parameters including blood urea nitrogen and hematocrit levels and HAPS scoring system are not correlated to IMA.

conclusionOur study is the first study to compare multiple prognostic factors with IMA in AP patients. In our study, the association between IMA and AP has been evaluated in the context of prognostic scoring and disease severity.
