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

backgroundPatients with concurrent acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) and acute cholangitis (AC) may experience exacerbated clinical consequences due to bile duct stones. However, studies exploring this topic remain limited.

aimTo compare the clinical presentation and outcomes of patients experiencing AC with and without ABP.

methodsThis single-center retrospective cohort study included 358 patients with AC who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) between January 2016 and December 2017. Patients were divided into two groups: AC with ABP (

resultsAll patients in the AC with ABP group had interstitial pancreatitis. The AC with ABP group had significantly higher white cell count (WBC) counts (13.1 × 10³/µL

conclusionConcurrent interstitial ABP and AC did not significantly affect outcomes. Age and cardiovascular dysfunction were stronger predictors of ICU admission and should guide clinical monitoring and management.
