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: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common and potentially life-threatening inflammatory disease that can cause various complications, including systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), pleural effusion, ascitic fluid, myocardial infarction, and acute kidney injury (AKI). However, there is still a lack of rapid and effective indicators to assess the disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of high serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels with AP severity and systemic complications. Methods: AP patients treated from July 2014 to December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. They were divided into elevated ( Results: There were significant differences in AP severity scores (Ranson, MODS, BISAP, APACHE II, and CTSI), hospital duration, hospital expenses, and the incidences of complications (SIRS, pleural effusion, ascitic fluid, myocardial infarction, and AKI) between the elevated and normal LDH groups. After adjusting for confounders, elevated LDH was associated with AP severity scores and hospital duration and expenses (based on linear regression analyses) and was a risk factor for the occurrence of AP complications and interventions, that is, diuretic and vasoactive agent use (based on binary logistic regression analyses). Conclusions: Elevated LDH is associated with high AP severity scores and high incidences of complications (SIRS, pleural effusion, ascitic fluid, myocardial infarction, and AKI).
