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

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and can be a plausible trigger for both disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) and acute pancreatitis. We present an 85-year-old male patient who presented with altered mental status and tested positive for COVID-19 infection. He was hypoxic with an incremental need for oxygen. He had clinical as well as imaging evidence of acute pancreatitis. Clinical evidence of bleeding was noted and lab findings were suggestive of DIC. Despite aggressive initial management, his clinical status continued to deteriorate and comfort care was sought eventually. This case highlights COVID-19 infection as a possible trigger for acute pancreatitis as well as DIC. It also highlights some of the differences in COVID-19-induced DIC, which fulfills the diagnostic criteria of DIC but has atypical findings.
