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

backgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) is associated with intestinal dysmotility, barrier dysfunction, and dysbiosis, which may increase the risk of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Evidence on the prevalence of SIBO in AP and its clinical correlates is limited.

aimTo evaluate the frequency of SIBO in patients with AP and identify the clinical, laboratory, and imaging predictors of SIBO.

methodsThis hospital-based case-control study was conducted at a tertiary gastroenterology unit in New Delhi, India, from December 2022 to June 2024. Consecutive adults with AP were enrolled as cases, and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were included. The glucose hydrogen breath test was used for the diagnosis of SIBO. The predictors of SIBO were examined.

resultsIn total, 30 cases and 60 HC were included in the study. SIBO was detected in 12 (40.0%) cases, significantly higher than in HC (1.7%) (

conclusionSIBO was frequent in AP and was strongly associated with disease severity. Larger prospective studies are required to determine whether identifying and treating SIBO can improve clinical outcomes in AP.
