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

Background and Objective: There is limited literature on the association of fatty liver and muscle mass with outcomes of acute pancreatitis (AP) in Indian patients. We aim to investigate the impact of these parameters on clinical outcomes in AP patients based on serial computed tomography (CT) scans. Materials and Methods: Consecutive patients of AP who had a baseline CT scan within 2 weeks of pain onset and a follow-up CT scan within 2 months of initial CT scan were included. Fatty liver, spleen to liver attenuation difference (AD), psoas muscle area (PMA), and psoas muscle attenuation (PMA Results: One hundred and ninety-eight patients (143 [72.2%] males, mean age 37.9 [ ± 12.4] years) were included. The mean interval between the two CT scans was 30 days (± 13.5 days). Twenty-four (12.1%) patients had fatty liver at baseline CT and 58 (29.3%) patients had fatty liver on follow-up CT ( Conclusion: Psoas muscle-based assessment is associated with clinical outcomes in patients with AP.
