Exploring Acute Pancreatitis After Orlistat Use: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Orlistat is an FDA-approved medication for obesity management that functions as a pancreatic lipase inhibitor. This medication is accessible without a prescription in numerous developed nations. As its utilization rises, the likelihood of experiencing adverse events also increases. A thorough understanding of these events is crucial for making informed decisions and ensuring effective management. We describe the case of a 23-year-old female who presented with acute pancreatitis after she started orlistat. We reviewed the association between orlistat use and acute pancreatitis, analyzing clinical cases and potential risk factors. By examining available medical literature and case studies, our study aims to provide insights into the correlation between orlistat therapy and the manifestation of acute pancreatitis.
