Clinical characteristics and outcomes of acute pancreatitis following spinal surgery: a systematic review.
Synthesis in The Journal of international medical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis study reviewed the current evidence on the clinical characteristics and outcome of acute pancreatitis (AP) following spinal surgery.
methodsA systematic search was performed to identify English articles published through May 2020 in PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Latin American & Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, and Cochrane Library. Data on clinical characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes were analyzed.
resultsEleven papers (including six case reports) were included, with 306 patients (incidence, 23.0%) developing AP after spinal surgery (mean age, 14.2 years). Of the studies that specified symptoms (55 patients), abdominal pain (43.6%), nausea and vomiting (32.7%), and abdominal distension (7.27%) were most prevalent. The mean duration from surgery to symptom onset was 6.15 days (range, 1-7). The most common complications of AP were glucose intolerance (25%), peritonitis (2%), pseudocyst formation (2%), and fluid collection (2%) were most prevalent. Prolonged fasting time (13.6%), intraoperative blood loss (9.09%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (9.1%), age >14 years (9.1%), and low BMI (9.1%) were most commonly associated with AP. Two deaths (0.6%) were reported.
conclusionAP remains an important complication of spinal surgery because of its morbidity and mortality. Avoiding major risk factors can reduce the incidence of AP following spinal surgery.
