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

backgroundRecurrence after a first episode of hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) remains common, whereas admission-time prediction models are still limited. We aimed to identify independent predictors of 3-year recurrence and develop a practical nomogram for early risk assessment.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients with first-episode HTG-AP admitted between January 2019 and January 2023. Clinical variables, laboratory indices obtained within 24 h of admission, and CT-derived skeletal muscle density (SMD) were collected. All patients had at least 3 years of potential follow-up. Candidate variables were screened using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, followed by multivariable logistic regression to identify independent predictors of recurrence. A nomogram was constructed and evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, calibration, bootstrap validation, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Sensitivity analyses included ln(CRP + 1) adjustment and Fine-Gray regression.

resultsA total of 278 patients were included in the primary logistic regression cohort, of whom 82 (29.5%) developed recurrence within 3 years. Higher triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index (OR 5.027, 95% CI 2.599-9.723, P < 0.001) and smoking history (OR 2.358, 95% CI 1.149-4.838, P = 0.019) were independent risk factors, whereas higher SMD (OR 0.868, 95% CI 0.821-0.917, P < 0.001) and albumin (OR 0.866, 95% CI 0.801-0.936, P < 0.001) were protective factors. The nomogram showed good discrimination, with an AUC of 0.896, and remained stable after bootstrap validation (AUC 0.891). Calibration, DCA, CRP-adjusted analysis, and Fine-Gray regression supported model performance and robustness.

conclusionsA nomogram integrating TyG, SMD, albumin, and smoking history showed good performance for predicting 3-year recurrence after first-episode HTG-AP and may support early risk stratification and individualized follow-up.
