Forest plot showing the effect of seTG >5.6 mM vs. <5.6 or 1.7–5.6 mM on AP severity, mortality, and pulmonary and renal failure. (A) Forest plot shows the influence of seTG over 5.6 mM compared with that of seTG <5.6 mM. (B) The AP severity in the > 5.6 mM seTG group was compared with that in patients with seTG in the 1.7–5.6 mM range. Filled rhombuses represent the risk ratio derived from the articles analysed. Horizontal bars represent 95% CI. Empty rhombuses show the overall effect (OR is the middle of the rhombus and CIs are the edges). The quality of studies was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale with the timing of the seTG measurement (for more details see Supplementary Table S2). Abbreviations: AP, acute pancreatitis; CI, confidence interval; comp., comparability; NR, not relevant; meas., measurement; OR, odds ratio; seTG, serum triglyceride concentration.
