Serum soluble T cell immunoglobulin mucin domain-3 as an early predictive marker for severity of acute pancreatitis; a retrospective analysis.

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
backgroundEarly prediction of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) plays an important role in timely treatment decisions. Soluble T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (sTIM-3) has been applied as a potential biomarker for the prediction of many diseases, while its predictive ability for AP severity remains largely unexplored. In this study, we aimed to identify whether serum sTIM-3 could be used as an indicator of AP severity in the early stage of the disease.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted. The enrolled AP patients should meet the 2012 Atlanta guideline and have an onset to admission ≤ 48 h.
resultsA total of 94 AP patients were enrolled in the current analysis, including 42 (45%), 35 (37%), and 17 (18%) patients were diagnosed as mild AP (MAP), moderately SAP (MSAP), and SAP, respectively. SAP patients had significantly higher the white blood cells (WBCs) count, red blood cells (RBCs) count, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, direct bilirubin level, creatinine and procalcitonin levels compared with MAP and MSAP patients. Among SAP and MSAP patients, significantly higher APACHE II, BISAP, and MCTSI scores were observed compared with MAP patients, and there was significant difference in APACHE II and BISAP scores between SAP and MSAP patients. Stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the concentrations of serum sTIM-3, as well as the BISAP and MCTSI scores, were significantly associated with the severity of AP. The areas under the ROC curve were 0.914 (95% CI, 0.865-0.963), 0.855 (95%CI, 0.742-0.968) 0.853 (95%CI, 0.768-0.938), and 0.746 (95%CI, 0.633-0.860) for BISAP score, APACHE II score, sTIM-3 level, and MCTSI score, respectively.
conclusionsSerum sTIM-3 might be ultimately incorporated into a predictive system for assessing the severity of AP.
