Gender-Related Differences in Hospitalization Outcomes of Acute Pancreatitis: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common gastrointestinal condition that frequently necessitates hospitalization. The aim of our study is to investigate whether gender affects the outcomes of adult patients hospitalized with AP. Methods Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database 2020 and the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) codes, we performed a retrospective study of adult patients admitted with AP. We compared inpatient outcomes of AP between males and females. The primary outcome was all-cause inpatient mortality. Secondary outcomes were length of stay (LOS), total healthcare cost utilization, incidence of acute renal failure (ARF), sepsis, shock, and the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission. We used STATA Version 16.1 to perform the statistical analyses. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess if gender was an independent predictor for these outcomes and to adjust for any confounders. Results A total of 252,595 adult patients were admitted for AP in 2020. The mean age was 50.89 years, and 139,180 (55.1 %) of the patients were males. Female patients had a higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease (9.26% vs 8.47%, P < 0.01), congestive heart failure (6.48% vs 5.69%, P < 0.01), and obesity (23.37% vs 17.39%, P < 0.01). Male patients had a higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus type 2 (27.32% vs 24.68%, P < 0.01), diabetes mellitus type 1 (1.32% vs 1.25%, P = 0.5), liver cirrhosis (1.81% vs 1.75%, P = 0.61), and smoking/tobacco use (39.38% vs 29.28%, P < 0.01). Females had significantly lower likelihood of in-hospital mortality (aOR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.51-0.82, P < 0.01), ARF (aOR 0.72, 95% CI: 0.68-0.76, P < 0.01), sepsis (aOR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.63-0.75, P < 0.01), and shock (aOR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.62-0.89, P < 0.01) than males. There was no statistically significant difference between LOS, total hospitalization charges, and ICU admission between the two genders. Conclusions We found that females had significantly improved clinical outcomes, including lower mortality, ARF, sepsis, and shock, as compared to males. There was no statistical difference between the two genders in LOS, total hospitalization charges, and ICU admission. Further prospective studies are needed to accurately understand these differences to guide clinical practice.
