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: Emphysematous pancreatitis is a severe systemic inflammatory process with reports of pulmonary embolism in the setting of acute pancreatitis rarely described. Case presentation: A 61-year-old woman presented with severe abdominal pain of 1 day duration. She was found to have acute interstitial pancreatitis. During her hospitalization, the patient developed worsening abdominal pain associated with increasing oxygen demands, requiring supplemental oxygen through nasal cannula. Workup showed pulmonary embolism in the posterior segmental branch of the left lower lobar artery and development of emphysematous pancreatitis was noted on imaging. The patient was started on intravenous antibiotics and therapeutic anticoagulation; her condition improved and was discharged home. Conclusion: Patients with severe acute pancreatitis may be at risk for pulmonary embolism due to immobilization and other inflammatory mechanisms. Mitigating individualized risk factors and anticoagulation use as prophylaxis should be considered in patients with pancreatitis to prevent embolism. Early detection by clinicians is critical to reduce misdiagnosis and mortality rates.
