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

backgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a leading cause of gastrointestinal hospital admissions, with up to 40% mortality in patients with moderate-severe AP. Glycoprotein acetylation (GlycA) is measured as a nuclear magnetic resonance signal (NMR) of the post-translational modification of glycosylated acute-phase proteins released during inflammation. We aimed to investigate the role of GlycA as an inflammatory biomarker of AP.

methodsWe prospectively enrolled 20 AP patients and 22 healthy controls and collected EDTA plasma samples at admission and discharge. NMR spectra were acquired from these samples using a 400 MHz Vantera

resultsDemographic comparisons were similar, except for a higher BMI in AP patients compared to healthy controls (29.9 vs. 24.8 kg/m

conclusionOur pilot study highlights the use of GlycA as a novel diagnostic biomarker of inflammation in patients with AP. Our study shows that GlycA levels were significantly higher in hospitalized AP patients compared to healthy controls. Patients with moderate-to-severe AP had higher GlycA levels compared to patients with mild AP at the time of their hospital discharge, suggesting persistent inflammation in patients with severe disease.
