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

Acute pancreatitis is a concerning cause of hospitalization in the United States, with the most common etiologies being secondary to alcohol abuse and gallstones. Rarely, medications can trigger this inflammatory response, whether via direct toxic effects or other metabolic derangements. Mirtazapine is an antidepressant that has been associated with elevations in triglyceride levels on initiation. Relatedly, high triglyceride levels and autoimmune disorders are other causes of pancreatitis exacerbations. Here, we present the case of a female who was started on mirtazapine therapy and found to have elevated triglyceride levels. The course was complicated by acute pancreatitis requiring plasmapheresis, despite medication discontinuation, to which she responded well.
