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

backgroundInfected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a serious complication of moderate-to-severe acute pancreatitis (AP), associated with high morbidity, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, organ failure, and mortality. Initial management relies on antibiotics and drainage of walled-off necrosis (WON). In the context of increasing multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, identifying risk factors for MDR emergence is crucial. The impact of fungal infections (FIs) on outcomes also remains unclear. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with the emergence of MDR bacteria and FIs during intervention for IPN.

methodsThis retrospective study included 71 consecutive patients undergoing intervention for suspected IPN or symptomatic WON.

resultsAt first intervention, IPN was confirmed in 52 patients (73%), MDR bacteria in 19 (27%), extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria in 4 (5.6%), and FI in 21 (30%). After all interventions, MDR/XDR bacteria and fungi were detected in 25 (35%)/11 (15.5%) and 42 (59%) patients, respectively. Independent risk factors for MDR emergence were the number of antibiotic changes (b, 1.70; 95% CI 1.18-2.43;

conclusionsAntibiotic changes and NS were independently associated with MDR emergence in IPN. No independent factors were linked to FI. ICU admission was significantly higher in IPN and MDR cases.
