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.

backgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is often accompanied by changes in body temperature (T

methodsIn this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched the PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL databases (from inception to April 25, 2024) for studies in adult AP patients with reported admission T

resultsWe found 26 eligible studies including data from 40,630 AP patients. The pooled mortality rate was higher (p < 0.001) in febrile patients (0.15, 95% CI 0.11-0.20; I

conclusionsFever on admission is associated with higher mortality, increased disease severity, and longer hospitalization in AP.
