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

Background: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a well-established cause of acute pancreatitis often leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare burden. This study aimed to describe the rate, reasons, and predictors of HTG-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) in the USA. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) for 2018 to determine all adults (≥ 18 years) readmitted within 30 days of an index hospitalization of HTG-AP. Hospitalization characteristics and adverse outcomes for 30-day readmissions were highlighted and compared with index admissions of HTG-AP. Furthermore, independent predictors for 30-day readmissions of HTG-AP were also identified. P values ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: In 2018, the rate of 30-day readmission of HTG-AP was noted to be 13.5%. At the time of readmission, AP (45.2%) was identified as the most common principal diagnosis, followed by chronic pancreatitis (6.3%) and unspecified sepsis (4.8%). Compared to index admissions, 30-day readmissions of HTG-AP had a higher proportion of patients with Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores ≥ 3 (48.5% vs. 33.8%, P < 0.001). Furthermore, we noted higher rates of inpatient mortality (1.7% vs. 0.7%, odds ratio (OR): 2.55, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.83 - 3.57, P < 0.001), mean length of stay (LOS) (5.6 vs. 4.1 days, OR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.2 - 1.7, P < 0.001), and mean total healthcare charge (THC) ($56,799 vs. $36,078, OR: 18,702, 95% CI: 15,136 - 22,267, P < 0.001) for 30-day readmissions of HTG-AP compared to index admissions. Independent predictors for 30-day all-cause readmissions of HTG-AP included hypertension, protein energy malnutrition (PEM), CCI scores ≥ 3, chronic kidney disease and discharge against medical advice. Conclusions: AP was the principal diagnosis on presentation in only 45.2% patients for 30-day readmissions of HTG-AP. Compared to index admissions, 30-day readmissions of HTG-AP had a higher comorbidity burden, inpatient mortality, mean LOS and mean THC.
