Diagnostic and prognostic value of serum lactate dehydrogenase and amylase in severe acute pancreatitis: A clinical biochemistry-based evaluation.
Article in Journal of medical biochemistry, 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
Background: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is characterised by extensive acinar-cell injury, metabolic dysregulation, and systemic inflammatory activation. Reliable biochemical markers for early risk stratification remain limited. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and amylase (AMY), routinely measured enzymes reflecting cellular damage and pancreatic exocrine dysfunction, may provide prognostic value. To evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum LDH and AMY in identifying SAP and predicting short-term outcomes. Methods: This retrospective study included 200 patients with acute pancreatitis. Serum LDH and AMY were measured on admission using standardised clinical chemistry assays with internal quality control. Patients were categorised as MAP, MSAP, or SAP, and SAP cases were further stratified into goodand poor-prognosis 2-week groups. Logistic regression and ROC analyses were used to determine the predictive value of LDH and AMY.
