Prophylactic ulinastatin administration for preventing post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis: A meta-analysis.

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
The objective of the present study was to perform a meta-analysis of all available studies on the effect of prophylactic ulinastatin administration on preventing post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP). The PubMed, Web of Knowledge and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched to identify all relevant studies published in English or Chinese prior to April 2016. Cochrane Review Manager was used to calculate the pooled risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) to determine the effect of prophylactic ulinastatin on PEP, post-ERCP hyperamylasemia (PEHA) and post-ERCP abdominal pain. The analysis revealed that prophylactic ulinastatin administration significantly reduced the PEP risk (RR=0.49; 95% CI: 0.33-0.74; P=0.0006; I
