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

Myocardial injury is a recognized complication of acute pancreatitis, whereas myocarditis has only been occasionally reported and has not been systematically evaluated. We systematically reviewed PubMed literature published up to January 2024 for studies including both "myocarditis" and "pancreatitis" as keywords. Relevant data regarding patient characteristics and outcomes were collected and analyzed. A total of 31 patients from 31 independent studies were included. The etiology of pancreatitis was viral in 52%, bacterial in 20%, toxic in 16%, autoimmune in 9%, and idiopathic in 3%. 23% of patients were immunocompromised. Median high sensitivity-cardiac troponin T was 342 (IQR 73-890) ng/L and N-terminus-pro-brain natriuretic peptide was 11053 (IQR 1397-26150) pg/mL. The average left ventricular ejection fraction was 33±13%. Fulminant myocarditis, presenting with cardiogenic shock and/or malignant ventricular arrhythmias occurred in 48% of patients, more frequently in men than in women (
