Pancreas divisum does not cause pancreatitis, but associates with CFTR mutations.
Article in The American journal of gastroenterology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
14 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 55 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
Bertin et al. partially dispel arguments that pancreas divisum (PD) causes pancreatitis, but fascinatingly indicate that PD associates with CFTR gene mutations predisposing to pancreatitis. This association, however, does not definitely confer a pathophysiological role for PD in pancreatitis but may denote that PD co-mingles with CFTR mutations without influencing pancreatitis or CFTR mutations influence pancreatic duct embryogenesis. We advise "idiopathic pancreatitis" patients with PD to undergo genetic testing. In lieu of CFTR mutations undertake no endoscopic/surgical procedure; if CFTR mutations are found, then refer patients for genetic counseling and withhold endoscopic/surgical therapy unless randomized studies show benefit.
