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

objectiveAssessing the relationship of body mass index (BMI) on acute pancreatitis (AP) hospitalization in the United States (US).

methodsThe National Inpatient Sample utilized to capture normal weight, overweight, and obese AP hospitalization in the US during 2020 based on BMI. Patients, hospitalization characteristics, and outcomes were compared.

resultsIn 2020, there were 53,000 (20%) obese, 3980 (2.6%) overweight, and 210,000 (77.4%) normal weight AP hospitalizations. All-cause inpatient mortality was similar for obese, and overweight compared to normal weight AP hospitalizations, respectively (0.65% vs 0.63% vs 0.6%). Furthermore, obese AP hospitalization had a higher chance of developing systemic [odds ratio (OR): 1.7, confidence interval (CI) (1.35-2.12)], and needing intubation or vasopressor requirement OR: 1.75, CI (1.14-2.68), compared to normal AP patients. However, overweight AP hospitalizations had similar chance of developing systemic OR: 1.1, CI (0.83-1.38) and local complication OR: 1.14, CI (0.88-1.5), needing intubation or vasopressor requirements OR: 1.27, CI (0.73-2.23) except use of jejunostomy tube was higher OR: 1.74, CI (1.1-2.75) compared to normal weight AP hospitalizations. The mean length-of-stay and mean total healthcare costs were higher among obese by 2.14 days (CI 0.9-3.37), p = 0.001 and by US$ 21,626, CI (4379-38,872), p = 0.014 compared to normal weight AP hospitalizations.

conclusionsObese and overnight AP hospitalizations had similar inpatient mortality compared to normal weight hospitalizations. Obese AP hospitalizations have higher complications and healthcare utilization compared to normal weight hospitalizations.
