Distinguishing Acute Pancreatitis From Refractory Peritonitis in Peritoneal Dialysis: 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
Patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) are at increased risk for acute pancreatitis, a rare but potentially fatal disease that arises from still poorly understood mechanisms. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman on PD admitted to the emergency room with severe epigastric pain, nausea, and emesis. The patient, suffering from stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) secondary to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, was undergoing treatment for PD-related peritonitis. She presented on day 17 of peritonitis treatment with a cloudy peritoneal effluent and elevated pancreatic enzymes. Exclusion of classical etiologies for pancreatitis was key in ensuring an accurate diagnosis. A thorough anamnesis may identify possible triggers or risk factors involved in the development of this pathology. Peritoneal effluent evaluation is one of the most trustworthy monitoring tools. Knowledge of similar cases is warranted to further understand how we can foresee or even prevent some of these episodes, as well as their complications.
