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

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a life-threatening gastrointestinal disease with high mortality and morbidity. However, scoring systems or prognostic indicators for assessing AP are cumbersome and expensive, and have not proved accurately to predict outcomes. Aim: We conducted a study with the aim of evaluating the predictive accuracy of C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin and ferritin regarding outcomes in patients with AP. Material and methods: A prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care referral centre in Odisha from March 2020 to April 2021. A total of 116 consecutive patients of AP were enrolled in the study. CTSI, APACHE II, ferritin, and the CRP/albumin ratio were calculated. Results: The mean age of patients was 40.63 ±5.49 years with a male predominance (73%). Alcohol was most common aetiology (46.6%), and the overall mortality was 18%. Mean ferritin and the CRP/albumin ratio were also significantly higher in severe AP as compared to moderately severe AP and mild AP ( Conclusions: CRP/albumin is a simple, cheap, and easily available biomarker predicting the development of severe pancreatitis, and it was found to be an independent predictor of mortality in AP.
