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

purposeThe trend of muscle wasting in patients with acute severe and moderately severe pancreatitis (AP) remains unclear. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the trend of skeletal muscle area (SMA) changes and its impact on patients with severe and moderately severe AP.

methodsPatients diagnosed with AP who had repeated CT scans after intensive care unit (ICU) admission were included. The patients were categorized into moderately severe AP or severe AP groups. The generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) was used to analyze the SMA trajectories.

resultsA total of 126 patients were included. The patients in the severe AP group had more rapid muscle wasting during the first 3 weeks following ICU admission. The SMA decreased by 1.1 cm

conclusionsPatients with severe AP experienced more muscle wasting during the first 3 weeks after ICU admission. A larger reduction in the SMA was associated with prolonged LOS. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Different patterns of muscle wasting were present during the first 3 weeks after ICU admission in moderately severe and severe AP patients. Accordingly, different nutrition and rehabilitation strategies might be employed depending upon the severity of AP.
