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

backgroundIn recent years, the incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) in the older people has been increasing. Some reports indicate that AP in the older people, is clinically more severe and systemic complications more frequent, leading to higher mortality compared to younger individuals. The clinical and CT/MRI features of senile AP are insufficient and the results are inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical features, CT/MRI imaging characteristics, and prognosis of AP in older people based on age stratification.

methodsWe collected clinical and imaging (CT/MRI) data from 449 older people with AP and categorized them into three age groups: aged 65 ~ 74 (young old, group 1), 75 ~ 84 (middle old, group 2), and ≥ 85 years (oldest old, group 3). Their clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, and clinical outcome endpoints were identified and compared.

resultsThe average age was 73 (69,78) years, with 259 (57.7%) being female. On CT/MRI, Group 3 had the highest prevalence of local complications and the probability of acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC). Group 3 had the highest SIRS, BISAP, and APACHE-Ⅱ scores. Group 3 had the highest prevalence of coronary heart disease, organ failure (OF), severe pancreatitis (SAP), and the highest mortality rate. OF, SAP, and APFC were independent risk factors for mortality (p < 0.05).

conclusionsDifferent age subgroups in older people with AP have different CT/MRI imaging and clinical features and prognoses. Group 3 had a higher prevalence of local complications and APFC, higher clinical scores, more severe clinical progression, and worse clinical prognosis.
