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/Objectives: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory condition marked by pancreatic tissue damage due to the activation of digestive enzymes in the pancreas, triggered by various factors. Nutritional status is considered an essential factor in the management and progression of AP. The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score are used to assess nutritional status and may have prognostic value in AP. This study aimed to investigate whether PNI and CONUT scores at admission are associated with clinical outcomes in patients with AP. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 261 acute pancreatitis patients admitted between 2016 and 2021. Statistical analyses included normality assessment (Shapiro-Wilk), group comparisons (Student's Results: Patients were categorized into two groups: those with ( Conclusion: This study demonstrates that while PNI scores did not significantly differ between AP patients with and without complications, lower PNI and higher CONUT scores were significantly associated with the presence of pancreatic necrosis. Moreover, the CONUT score was significantly higher in patients who developed complications, suggesting its potential utility as a prognostic tool. These findings highlight the importance of early assessment of nutritional status in the clinical management of AP. The CONUT score, in particular, may help identify patients at risk for worse outcomes and guide timely nutritional interventions to improve prognosis.
