Incidence of peripancreatic fluid collections in patients presenting with acute pancreatitis.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo calculate the incidence of acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC) in patients with acute pancreatitis. The secondary objective is to determine the underlying etiologies of acute pancreatitis in the Saudi population.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was carried out at King Khalid University Hospital, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study analyzed data from patients who were diagnosed with acute pancreatitis between January 2008 and January 202. A total of 327 were included in the study after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Their medical records were subsequently reviewed for the presence or absence of APFC on follow-up imaging studies, evidence of biliary stones, prior endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a history of alcohol use, and demographic variables.
resultsOf the 327 patients with acute pancreatitis, 158 (48.3%) developed APFC, while 169 (51.7%) did not. The majority of patients had an idiopathic etiology of acute pancreatitis (n=251; 76.8%); followed by a biliary etiology (n=51; 15.6%); post-ERCP complications (n=14; 4.3%), and other causes (n=11; 3.3%).
conclusionThe incidence of APFC in patients presenting with acute pancreatitis between January 2008 and January 2021 was 48.3%. The most common etiology of acute pancreatitis in this tertiary care hospital was idiopathic, followed by biliary etiologies and post-ERCP complications. More studies targeting the local complications of pancreatitis are needed to reach more definitive findings.
