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

The clinical course and severity of pancreatitis might vary largely. Pancreatitis-related thoracic complications might be life-threatening but frequently ignored. We report an alcoholic patient who initially presented to the emergency department with community-acquired pneumonia, acute respiratory failure and acute-on-chronic pancreatitis with massive pancreatic pleural effusion. Subsequently, he developed insidiously pancreatitis-related intra-abdominal, mediastinal pseudocysts, and unexpectedly sudden onset of cardiac tamponade. Although tamponade-related haemodynamic instability improved soon after timely diagnosis and emergent pericardial drainage, his recovery period was prolonged. His serum amylase and lipase were persistently elevated until definitive treatment with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-assisted removal of pancreatic duct stones. Pancreatitis-related cardiac tamponade is rare but lethal without prompt diagnosis and management. We reviewed pancreatitis-related thoracic complications, particularly for cardiac tamponade, and discussed about the pathophysiology and management options.
