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

Background: This study aimed to investigate whether neutrophil elastase inhibitor (sivelestat sodium) was associated with decreased duration of organ failure in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) and early organ failure. Methods: Between January 2022 and December 2024, patients who were diagnosed with AP and early organ failure were included. The primary outcome was organ failure-free days (OFFD) to Day 14 after admission. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to control confounders. Multivariate zero-inflated negative binomial regression model was used to evaluate the association between sivelestat sodium and OFFD. An exploratory mediation analysis was carried out to evaluate whether day 3 C-reactive protein partly accounted for the association. Results: 340 patients were enrolled in this study. After PSM, patients receiving sivelestat sodium had significantly more OFFD than those who did not (median [IQR], 9 [5 to 13] vs. 6 [1 to 10], Conclusion: Sivelestat sodium use was associated with more organ failure-free days in patients with AP and early organ failure, particularly in those with respiratory failure. These findings require confirmation in future prospective randomized trials.
