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

backgroundThere is no effective drug treatment for the organ failure (OF) caused by severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).

objectiveWe aimed to evaluate the efficacy of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors (COX-2-Is) on the treatment of SAP and its safety.

designIn this multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, investigator-initiated trial, 348 patients with acute pancreatitis aged 18-75 years, <1 week from onset of illness to admission, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II Score ≥7 or modified Marshall Score ≥2, were randomly assigned (1:1) to the COX-2-Is group (parecoxib sequential with imrecoxib) or the placebo group. SAP occurrence, duration of OF, local complications, clinical outcomes and serum inflammatory mediators were measured.

resultsCompared with the placebo group, SAP occurrence was reduced by 20.7% (77.6%

conclusionParecoxib sequential with imrecoxib was effective and well tolerated in reducing the occurrence and duration of SAP and local complications through suppression of systemic inflammatory response, leading to decreased morbidity.
