Association of Diabetes Mellitus With Severity Complications and Mortality in Acute Pancreatitis Patients.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 is a common inflammatory disease with variable clinical outcomes. Diabetes mellitus may worsen the severity and increase complications in these patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the association of diabetes mellitus with severity, complications, and mortality in acute pancreatitis patients.
methodsThis prospective observational study was conducted at Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad from April 2025 to September 2025. A total of 160 patients with confirmed acute pancreatitis were included through consecutive sampling. Patients were divided into diabetic and non-diabetic groups. Severity was assessed by the Revised Atlanta Classification. Demographic profile, laboratory findings, complications, ICU admission, hospital stay, and mortality were recorded. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26 (Released 2018; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). The chi-square test, independent sample t-test, and multivariable logistic regression analysis were applied. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
resultsOut of 160 patients, 68 (42.5%) were diabetic, and 92 (57.5%) were non-diabetic. Severe acute pancreatitis was significantly more common in diabetic patients (30.9% vs 15.2%, p=0.017). Persistent organ failure (27.9% vs 13.0%, p=0.019), pancreatic necrosis (25.0% vs 12.0%, p=0.031), ICU admission (29.4% vs 14.1%, p=0.018), and mortality (16.2% vs 8.7%, p=0.041) were also higher among diabetic patients. Mean hospital stay was significantly prolonged in diabetics (8.7±3.9 vs 5.9±2.8 days, p<0.001). Multivariable analysis showed diabetes mellitus as an independent predictor of severe acute pancreatitis and mortality.
conclusionDiabetes mellitus was significantly associated with increased severity, complications, prolonged hospital stay, and mortality in acute pancreatitis. Early identification of diabetic patients may help improve clinical outcomes.
