The comparison of acute phase proteins in experimentally induced canine acute pancreatitis.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 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
backgroundAcute pancreatitis triggers the production of acute-phase proteins (APPs) in the body, among which C-reactive protein (CRP) is the most extensively studied and widely used for both diagnosis and prognosis. The diagnostic value of other APPs is less well known. Our study aimed to compare six APPs in a canine model of experimentally induced acute pancreatitis (AP). We measured serum CRP, serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (HAPT), hepcidin-α and -ß (HEPC-α, HEPC-ß), and albumin (ALB) levels in 10 dogs over 8 consecutive days following AP induction with cerulein injections.
resultsDuring the study, CRP was the most consistent marker for tracking temporal changes in pancreatic enzymes among the studied APPs. We found no correlation between pancreatic enzymes and CRP or SAA levels; however, a significant positive correlation was observed between CRP and SAA. A moderate correlation was identified between serum cholesterol levels and both CRP and SAA concentrations. Albumin exhibited a moderate negative correlation with CRP and SAA. Neither HAPT nor hepcidins correlated with CRP, SAA, or pancreatic enzymes. Serum albumin remained within the reference interval.
conclusionsBased on our experimental results, CRP remains the most consistent APP for monitoring canine pancreatitis. Our findings did not support the practical usefulness of hepcidins or haptoglobin in tracking pancreatitis in dogs.
