Association between atrial fibrillation and both the in-hospital mortality and disease severity in acute pancreatitis: insights from a multicenter study.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundResearch exploring the relationship between atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute pancreatitis (AP) is limited. This study aims to explore the association between AF and both the disease severity and in-hospital mortality in AP.
methodsThis research included a total of 3,537 eligible patients with AP from three medical centers. Participants were categorized into two groups: those with a history of AF and those without (non-AF group). Binary multivariable logistic analysis was employed to examine the relationship between AF and outcomes. Sensitivity analyses, including multinomial logistic regression, stabilized inverse probability treatment weighting (sIPTW) analyses and the calculation of the E value, are conducted to assess the robustness of our findings.
resultsA total of 122 patients, representing 3.45% of the cohort, had a history of AF. Binary multivariable analyses indicated that AF is independently associated with increased disease severity, but no significant association was found with in-hospital mortality. Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that the results obtained from the sIPTW analyses were consistent with those derived from the multivariable analyses. Furthermore, an evaluation of the E value suggests that the potential impact of unmeasured confounders on the association between AF and both in-hospital mortality and disease severity is likely to be minimal.
conclusionsOur research indicates that AF is independently associated with the increased disease severity; however, it may not increase the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with AP.
