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

Background: To assess whether glucose variability (GV) during acute pancreatitis (AP) predicts post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM-A), significantly affecting patient life quality. Methods: This study was performed during 2016-2020 at Jinling Hospital, with a 3-year follow-up for each patient. Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the association of GV with the possibility of developing PPDM-A. Dose-response relationships of GV with the three-year probability of PPDM-A were characterized based on a restricted cubic splines (RCS) model. GV was analyzed to predict the ability for PPDM-A by calculating area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs). Results: PPDM-A rates rose from 16% at one year to 27.3% at three years post-AP. Multivariate Cox analysis indicated that the largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE) exhibited independent association with an increased PPDM-A risk within 3 years (HR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.05-1.38, P <0.01). RCS results identified optimum LAGE threshold as 5.1, with significantly higher 3-year PPDM-A rates of abnormal LAGE group (LAGE ≥5.1 mmol/L) when compared with normal LAGE group (LAGE <5.1 mmol/L, P <0.001). AUCs for LAGE in predicting PPDM-A incidence in 12, 24, and 36 months were 0.883 (95% CI: 0.862-0.930), 0.916 (95% CI: 0.887-0.945), and 0.926 (95% CI: 0.895-0.948), respectively. Conclusions: LAGE in hospital stay accurately predicts PPDM-A. Further investigation plays an essential role in determining whether GV-targeting interventions can confer favorable clinical outcomes.
