[A Systematic Approach to Patients with Elevated Levels of Serum Amylase or Lipase].
Review in The Korean journal of gastroenterology = Taehan Sohwagi Hakhoe chi, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Serum amylase and lipase tests are routinely performed in patients presenting with abdominal pain or even during regular health screening. Elevated serum levels of these two enzymes are often encountered in clinical practice. The differential diagnosis is broad and includes acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, gastrointestinal tract obstruction, malignancies, and other disease conditions. In this article, we review the pathophysiology of elevated amylase and lipase, possible conditions that cause the increase, and diagnostic strategies for such patients. We conclude that a systematic approach to patients with elevated amylase and/or lipase is critical to making an accurate diagnosis and initiating appropriate treatment.
