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

It is well known that most medications have side effects, and many of them have gone through years of testing with thousands of test subjects before entering the market. However, as physicians it is important to assess how patients react to the initiation of new medications not only looking for known side effects but also rare ones. Our case highlights a rare presentation of metformin-induced pancreatitis in the setting of normal renal function and appropriate dosing. We are hoping our case will create more awareness and inspire future research in exploring the pathophysiology and causes of metformin-induced pancreatitis. Moreover, we aim to make healthcare professionals mindful so that they may recognize acute pancreatitis as a side effect of metformin even in a healthy patient.
