Rare presentation of acute pancreatitis in mild COVID-19.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
Viral-induced pancreatitis has been well-defined; however, there are limited data regarding COVID-19 and pancreatitis. Most cases are commonly in conjunction with severe COVID-19 as well as lipase elevation. We describe a unique case of mild SARS-CoV-2 infection resulting in acute pancreatitis in the absence of lipase elevation. A 39-year-old patient with no medical history, presented with epigastric pain. Vital signs were unremarkable. Patient was positive for COVID-19. Liver function panel, calcium, triglyceride and lipase levels were all unremarkable. CT of the abdomen demonstrated acute pancreatitis without gallstones. Our case may indicate that pancreatic injury in SARS-CoV-2 infection is due to a direct impact on the pancreas by the virus, given the absence of lipase elevation and mild presentation. This case highlights the importance of suspecting pancreatitis in mild COVID-19 that present with atypical symptoms such as epigastric pain, even without lipase elevation.
