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
To evaluate the clinical utility of PCT, CRP, IL-6, NLR, and TyG index in improving the early diagnosis and severity assessment of acute pancreatitis (AP). This retrospective study included 137 AP patients and 30 healthy controls from Hunan Provincial People's Hospital (January 2021-September 2023). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses assessed the associations between biomarkers and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, DeLong test, and Bonferroni correction were used to evaluate predictive performance. Model robustness was validated via 5-fold cross-validation. PCT, CRP, IL-6, NLR, and TyG index levels were significantly elevated in AP patients compared to controls (P < 0.001) and correlated with disease severity (P < 0.05). CRP and NLR levels differed significantly among mild, moderate, and severe AP (P < 0.01). Alcohol consumption and hyperlipidemia were significantly linked to AP severity (P for trend < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis identified hyperlipidemia (OR = 3.030, P = 0.040), CRP (OR = 1.011, P < 0.001), and NLR (OR = 1.078, P = 0.020) as independent SAP predictors. The combined model of CRP + NLR + TyG achieved the highest AUC (0.882, sensitivity = 77.2%, specificity = 88.5%), though it was not significantly better than CRP + NLR or CRP + TyG models (P > 0.05). 5-fold cross-validation confirmed consistent performance (mean AUC = 0.817 ± 0.118). PCT, CRP, IL-6, NLR, and TyG index are valuable in diagnosing and assessing AP prognosis. Hyperlipidemia, CRP, and NLR are reliable independent predictors of SAP. Combining multiple biomarkers enhances diagnostic precision and provides guidance for personalized treatment strategies in AP.
