Beyond Gallstones and Alcohol: Unveiling Hypertriglyceridemia as the Cause of Pancreatitis.
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
Hypertriglyceridemia is a less frequent yet clinically significant cause of acute pancreatitis, accounting for approximately 4-10% of cases, and is often overlooked when routine laboratory analysis is hindered by lipemia-related analytical interference. We describe two cases of severe hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis presenting with acute abdominal pain and markedly elevated triglyceride levels. The first case involved polygenic hypertriglyceridemia triggered by undiagnosed diabetes. The second case represented secondary, alcohol-related hypertriglyceridemia. In both cases, lipemia-related laboratory interference complicated the initial evaluation, but prompt recognition and treatment with intravenous insulin led to rapid clinical and biochemical improvement. These cases highlight the need for early consideration of hypertriglyceridemia in pancreatitis of unclear etiology, awareness of laboratory artifacts, and prompt triglyceride-lowering therapy to prevent complications.
