No Benefit of Oral Diclofenac on Post-Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis.
Trial report in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
backgroundPancreatitis following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a serious complication. Rectal diclofenac (100 mg) has been shown to reduce the incidence of pancreatitis; however, this dosage form is unavailable in several countries.
aimsWe aimed to investigate the preventive effect of oral diclofenac on pancreatitis after ERCP in a multicenter, randomized, prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial.
methodsPatients undergoing a first ERCP in seven high-volume centers between July 2012 and August 2014 were considered eligible. Participants were administered oral diclofenac (50 mg) or placebo before and after ERCP. The primary endpoint was the incidence of pancreatitis. A subgroup analysis was performed for patients at high or low risk of pancreatitis. Secondary endpoints were pancreatic enzyme levels (amylase and lipase).
resultsWe initially enrolled 430 patients (216 in the diclofenac and 214 in the placebo group), and 23 were excluded after randomization. The overall incidence of pancreatitis was 9.8 % (20/205) and 9.4 % (19/202) in the diclofenac and placebo groups, respectively (p = 0.90). The incidence of pancreatitis was 20.3 % (13/64) and 21.3 % (13/61) in patients at high risk of pancreatitis (p = 0.78) and 5.0 % (7/141) and 4.3 % (6/141) in patients at low risk of pancreatitis in the diclofenac and placebo groups (p = 0.94), respectively. There were no significant differences in serum amylase and lipase levels between the two groups before and 24 h after ERCP.
conclusionsOral administration of diclofenac before and after ERCP showed no benefit in the prevention of pancreatitis. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRY NO: UMIN000008109.
