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

backgroundSevere acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and carries a significant financial burden with high disability and mortality. There are no effective drugs in the clinical management of severe AP, and there is an absence of evidence-based medicine concerning the treatment of severe AP.

aimTo explore whether ulinastatin (UTI) can improve the outcome of severe AP.

methodsThe present research included patients who were hospitalized in intensive critical care units (ICUs) after being diagnosed with severe AP. Patients received UTI (400000 IU) or placebos utilizing computer-based random sequencing (in a 1:1 ratio). The primary outcome measures were 7-d mortality, clinical efficacy, inflammatory response, coagulation function, infection, liver function, renal function, and drug-related adverse effects were evaluated.

resultsA total of 181 individuals were classified into two groups, namely, the placebo group (

conclusionThe findings from the present research indicated that UTI can improve the clinical outcomes of patients with severe AP and has fewer adverse reactions.
