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

objectivesHypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is the common cause of acute pancreatitis (AP) after gallstones and alcohol abuse, accounting for up to 10% of the cases of acute pancreatitis. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) may potentially complicate the diagnosis, treatment, and clinical outcomes of HTG-AP. This study aimed to directly compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of HTG-AP in patients with and without DKA.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 289 patients diagnosed with HTG-AP, among whom 23 were also diagnosed with DKA. Epidemiologic characteristics, initial laboratory values, and clinical outcomes were compared between the DKA and non-DKA groups.

resultsThe DKA group exhibited a higher incidence of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) following nearest-neighbor 1:2 propensity score matching. HTG-AP patients with DKA experienced longer ICU durations and needed more interventions for intraabdominal bleeding. Additionally, the DKA group presented with higher BMI, a greater prevalence of medical history in circulatory disease, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia. In addition, the levels of glucose, procalcitonin (PCT), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were more elevated in patients with DKA.

conclusionsConcomitant with DKA in HTG-AP patients is linked to increased persistent organ failure, prolonged ICU duration, and increasing need for interventions in the bleeding patients. However, HTG-AP patients with DKA have no effect on the length of stay, in-hospital mortality, incidence of infected necrotizing pancreatitis and the necessity for necrosectomy.
