Pancreatic Injury in Patients with SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) Infection: A Retrospective Analysis of CT Findings.
Article in Gastroenterology research and practice, 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
objectiveTo determine the association between COVID-19 infection and peripancreatic changes on CT as a sign of acute pancreatic injury.
methodsRetrospective analysis of CT examinations in patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection yielded 103 instances. An age- and gender-matched cohort of patients without COVID-19 was found. CT examinations were evaluated for peripancreatic stranding or edema, fluid collection, or necrosis, without any other explanation. Depicted pulmonary parenchyma was evaluated for possible COVID-19-related changes. Clinical and laboratory data were retrieved from the clinical database.
resultsPeripancreatic fat stranding (
conclusionsWe showed that the prevalence of peripancreatic stranding or fluid collection is higher in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection compared to an age- and gender-matched cohort. Patients with pancreatic injury and elevated amylase levels are more likely to require orotracheal intubation. Our findings corroborate the link between COVID-19 infection and pancreatic injury from the perspective of imaging.
