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

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a major cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. While VTE is well-established in pancreatic malignancy, its association with non-neoplastic pancreatic conditions, particularly acute pancreatitis (AP), is less clearly defined and frequently underrecognized in clinical practice. This narrative review aims to explore and synthesize existing literature on the thromboembolic complications associated with AP, highlighting the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical implications, and current gaps in prophylactic and therapeutic strategies. We reviewed published studies from major databases up to June 2025, focusing on epidemiological trends, pathological mechanisms related to inflammation-induced thrombosis, and clinical outcomes in patients with AP complicated by VTE. The review discusses pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical features and diagnostic challenges due to symptom overlap, current pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management strategies, and the limited but growing real-world evidence on anticoagulation in this setting.
