Ascites characteristics in acute pancreatitis: A prognostic indicator of organ failure and mortality.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe condition, and abdominal effusion is a significant predictor of its severity and prognosis. However, the relationship between ascites characteristics and AP outcomes remains undefined.
aimTo assess the correlation between ascites characteristics and clinical prognosis in AP patients by comparing color depth and turbidity of early ascites.
methodsThis study included 667 AP patients with ascites, categorized by color and turbidity into yellow clear (
resultsAP patients with ascites exhibited higher scores of scoring systems (such as Bedside index for severity in AP, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Examination II,
conclusionEarly in AP, ascites correlates with OF, IPN, and mortality, showing linear associations with color depth and turbidity. Ascitic LDH reliably predicts ACS and intra-abdominal hemorrhage in AP patients.
