Contributions of authors

EM selected studies and extracted the data for more than half the studies identified by screening and completed the tables detailing the characteristics of included and excluded studies. FF helped EM with data extraction. RK selected studies and extracted the data for the remaining studies. AB screened the references. SP and BRD critically commented on the review. KG screened the references, selected studies, extracted the data, analysed the data, and wrote the review.

Pharmacological interventions for acute pancreatitis: a network meta‐analysis

Protocol

Kurinchi Selvan Gurusamy

https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD011384

Differences between protocol and review

  1. We did not combine somatostatin and somatostatin analogues. This is to avoid further clinical heterogeneity.

  2. We reported sepsis separately under serious adverse events due to its importance as an important clinical outcome.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Para saber más sobre el uso del modelo PICO, puede consultar el Manual Cochrane.

Long‐term mortality
Follow‐up: 1 year

None of the trials with inactive treatment in the control group reported long‐term mortality.

*The basis for the assumed risk is the average control group proportion across all comparisons. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

CI: confidence intervals; OR: odds ratio; EDTA: ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: we are very uncertain about the estimate.

aRisk of bias: downgraded by one level.
bImprecision: downgraded one level for wide confidence intervals.
cImprecision: downgraded one level for small sample size.
dHeterogeneity: downgraded one level for lack of overlap of confidence intervals and high I².

High quality: further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: we are very uncertain about the estimate.

aRisk of bias: downgraded by one level.
bImprecision: downgraded one level for wide confidence intervals.
cImprecision: downgraded one level for small sample size.
dHeterogeneity: downgraded one level for lack of overlap of confidence intervals and high I².
