Complex Management of an Infected Pancreatic Collection With Walled-Off Necrosis in Acute Pancreatitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
A 38-year-old man, post a 17-day hospitalization for severe necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) with complications of a pancreatic collection and splenic vein thrombosis, presented to the emergency department with severe epigastric pain. Despite initial stability, abdominopelvic angio-CT revealed an enlarged pancreatic collection with active bleeding. Hemorrhagic shock ensued, leading to ICU admission and subsequent multiorgan failure, elevated intra-abdominal pressure, and suspected pancreatic collection infection. Endoscopic transluminal drainage (ETD) was performed, followed by empiric antibiotics, later adjusted to cefuroxime based on collection fluid cultures. The patient developed septic shock with Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolation in blood cultures, prompting targeted ceftazidime therapy. Repeat ETD with necrosectomy addressed the ongoing infection, with polymicrobial cultures necessitating an extended course of targeted antibiotics and antifungals. Clinical improvement ensued, culminating in discharge home. This case underscores the challenges in managing severe NP and highlights the efficacy of a multidisciplinary approach for improved patient outcomes.
