Hydrochlorothiazide as an Underrecognized Cause of Acute Pancreatitis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
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
Acute pancreatitis is a common inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. While commonly caused by gallstones, alcohol use, and idiopathic causes, drug-induced acute pancreatitis (DIAP) is an often overlooked etiology that demands careful medication review and clinical vigilance. This case report describes a 72-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension and coronary artery disease who presented with severe epigastric pain radiating to the back, elevated lipase levels, and imaging findings consistent with acute pancreatitis. After excluding common causes such as gallstones, alcohol use, and hypertriglyceridemia, hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) was identified as the likely trigger. Discontinuation of hydrochlorothiazide led to clinical improvement and resolution of laboratory abnormalities. This case highlights the importance of considering drug-induced acute pancreatitis, particularly in patients with comorbidities who present with unexplained acute pancreatitis due to their pharmacological therapy.
