Pulmonary Embolism: A Rare Presentation of Acute-on-Chronic Pancreatitis in Children.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Although splanchnic vein thrombosis may manifest as pancreatitis, it is rare to find venous thrombosis at other body sites. We present a rare case of acute-on-chronic pancreatitis in a patient who subsequently developed a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the right lower limb and pulmonary embolism (PE). A 14-year-old male presented with an acute history of upper abdominal pain, vomiting, and abdominal distension. Workup for pancreatitis was normal except for low hemoglobin and high serum pancreatic enzymes. The CT abdomen favored a diagnosis of acute-on-chronic pancreatitis with dilated pancreatic duct, multiple pseudo-pancreatic cysts, and saddle pulmonary embolus. He was treated with medical conservative therapy. For DVT and saddle PE, he was started on enoxaparin, which was later switched to rivaroxaban. A CT angiogram after three months of therapy with rivaroxaban showed the complete disappearance of the clot. Early detection of such life-threatening complications is important to achieve favorable outcomes in these patients.
