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

objectiveAcute necrotic collection (ANC), acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC), pleural effusion, and ascites are common early complications of acute pancreatitis. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between 12 serum cytokines and the early complications and severity of acute pancreatitis (AP).

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 307 patients with AP, and divided them into severe group and mild-to-moderate group according to the revised Atlanta classification. Propensity score matching was used to control for confounding factors. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between cytokine levels and early complications of AP.

resultsSerum levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17, and tumor necrosis factor-α were significantly higher in the severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group than in the non-SAP group (p < .05). After adjusting for confounding factors, the upper quartiles of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 were associated with an increased risk of ANC compared with those in the lowest quartile (IL-6: quartile 3, odds ratio [OR] = 3.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.95-8.16; IL-8: quartile 4, OR = 2.47, 95% CI = 1.27-4.84; IL-10: quartile 2, OR = 2.22, 95% CI = 1.09-4.56). APFC was associated with high serum levels of IL-6 (quartile 3, OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.02-1.72), pleural effusions were associated with high serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 (IL-1β: quartile 4, OR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.21-4.58; IL-6: quartile 3, OR = 4.67, 95% CI = 2.27-9.61; IL-8: quartile 3, OR = 2.95, 95% CI = 1.51-5.79; IL-10: quartile 4, OR = 3.20, 95% CI = 1.61-6.36), and high serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were associated with an increased risk of ascites (IL-6: quartile 3, OR = 3.01, 95% CI = 1.42-6.37; IL-10: quartile 3, OR = 2.57, 95% CI = 1.23-5.37).

conclusionSerum cytokine levels, including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 may be associated with the occurrence of early complications of AP. In daily clinical practice, IL-6 may be the most worthwhile cytokine to be detected.
