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

This study aims to analyze the risk factors requiring early intervention in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients with persistent organ failure and evaluate the clinical outcomes following treatment. This was a retrospective observational study. Inverse probability treatment weighting using propensity score methods was employed to balance baseline characteristics. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors associated with early intervention. Smooth curve fitting was applied to explore potential relationships between variables and intervention timing. Threshold effect analysis was conducted to identify the optimal inflection point in nonlinear relationship. A total of 310 patients were included in this study. Compared to the standard treatment group (n = 162), the early intervention group (n = 148) had a higher proportion of multiple organ failure (77.1% vs. 63.6%, P = 0.021) and higher mortality (27.7% vs. 16.0%, P = 0.013), but early intervention was not significantly associated with adverse outcome (OR 1.52, 95% CI 0.71-3.26, P = 0.283). Risk factors associated with early intervention included computed tomography severity index, SOFA score, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), and remifentanil equivalents. Among these, the SOFA score showed a negative linear relationship with intervention timing, while distinct threshold effects were observed between IAP, remifentanil equivalents, and intervention timing. One week after intervention, most patients showed improved organ function, along with reduced requirements for sedation and analgesia, as well as decreased C-reactive protein level levels and IAP (all P < 0.05). SAP patients requiring early intervention tended to have higher disease severity. Although early intervention can improve short-term organ function, reduce IAP, and lower analgesic requirements, its impact on reducing mortality remains uncertain.
