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

A 73-year-old woman was hospitalized with fever and back pain. Ceftriaxone (2 g/day) was administered due to suspicion of bacterial infection. On hospital day 5, ceftriaxone was replaced with cefepime. Three days later, the patient experienced abdominal pain and vomiting, which was associated with elevated serum amylase levels. Computed tomography revealed high-density sludge in the gallbladder and common bile duct, along with diffuse enlargement of the pancreas. The patient was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis caused by ceftriaxone-associated biliary pseudolithiasis and treated conservatively. Physicians should recognize that acute pancreatitis due to biliary pseudolithiasis may occur not only during ceftriaxone therapy but also after its discontinuation.
