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

backgroundTachycardia is common in early severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), yet prior studies lack dynamic progression modeling. This study evaluated cumulative heart rate (CumHR) and dynamic trajectories as predictors of prognosis in acute pancreatitis (AP).

methodsA retrospective cohort of 5393 AP patients (admitted ≤3 days postonset, 2005-2023) was analyzed. CumHR was calculated using heart rate (HR) data from the first 7 days postadmission. Latent class trajectory modeling (LCTM) identified dynamic patterns. Multivariable regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses, and ROC curves assessed associations and predictive performance.

resultsCumHR outperformed single-timepoint HR measurements in discriminating mortality, SAP, infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), and persistent multiple organ failure (PMOF). Each 1-SD increase in CumHR elevated mortality risk (OR = 2.81, 95% CI:2.29-3.45). U-shaped dose-response relationships with mortality/SAP/PMOF (inflection at CumHR ≈ 500) and linear association with IPN were observed. CumHR achieved 87.1% AUC (95% CI:84.2-89.9%) for mortality prediction, exceeding daily HR metrics. LCTM stratified five trajectories; the persistently elevated group (SLG-T5) had the highest mortality (20.6% vs. 0.2% in SHG-T1).

conclusionsCumHR and dynamic trajectories independently predict AP prognosis. Persistently elevated HRs (SLG-T5) necessitate early intervention, while CumHR > 500 may guide high-risk stratification.
