Acute Pancreatitis Presenting as Inferior Wall Myocardial Ischaemia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute pancreatitis usually presents with epigastric or diffuse abdominal pain. Due to the proximity of the pancreas to the heart, several electrocardiographic abnormalities have been reported. Although ST-segment depression is one of the most commonly reported alterations, localized ST-segment elevation mimicking an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has only been reported in a few cases. We present a 92-year-old male patient with epigastric pain, whose electrocardiogram (ECG) was concerning for inferior wall ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and who was admitted for angioplasty. The final diagnosis after complete blood work was stable coronary artery disease, and the patient was found to present with underlying necrohaemorrhagic pancreatitis. The patient was treated accordingly, with intravenous fluids, vasopressors and antibiotic coverage, but unfortunately died 48 h after admission. This case highlights the rarity and difficulty in discerning a true inferior wall STEMI and a pancreatitis mimicking the ACS and underscores the importance of reporting such cases to raise clinical awareness and guide appropriate management.
