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

When first presented, ST-segment elevation on EKG (electrocardiogram) requires close scrutiny. The most concerning of possible diagnoses is acute coronary syndrome, yet it is not the only clinical entity that can cause ST-segment elevation. Herein, we present a case of a 62-year-old male current smoker with past medical history of uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia presenting with abdominal pain for 1 week duration. His initial admission EKG illustrated ST-segment elevation; however, his clinical presentation, lack of anginal symptoms, normal bedside transthoracic echocardiogram, and normal range troponin were not indicative of myocardial infarction. In fact, he was found to have elevated lipase and CT findings consistent with acute pancreatitis. This case highlights an uncommon presentation of pancreatitis and illustrates the importance of obtaining a comprehensive clinical history when evaluating patients to ensure patient's receive efficient and appropriate care.
