Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis: Current Concepts in the Diagnosis and Management.
Review in Current treatment options in gastroenterology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
purpose of reviewThere have been significant developments in the diagnosis, clinical approach, and management of patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) in the last decade. This review systematically summarizes our current understanding of RAP. NEW
findingsGallstones and alcohol are common causes of RAP. Non-alcohol non-biliary RAP (nAnB RAP) is a difficult group of patients after excluding these two causes because extensive workup is required to elucidate the etiology. Idiopathic RAP is diagnosed after excluding all the known causes and recurrence is noted to be higher in such patients. Patients with non-biliary RAP are prone to develop chronic pancreatitis (CP) suggesting a continuum from acute to recurrent to chronic pancreatitis. Often, patients destined to develop CP present at an earlier stage with RAP. Endoscopic ultrasound and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) are the investigations of choice to detect microlithiasis, choledocholithiasis, ductal abnormalities, peri-ampullary malignancies, and early changes of chronic pancreatitis. The role of pancreas divisum, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, and anomalous pancreatobiliary union in causing RAP is controversial. Genetic testing may be advisable in younger patients.
conclusionWith a focused approach and appropriate investigations, the etiology of RAP can be identified in a significant proportion of patients. Therapeutic options are limited and future research is needed to improve understanding of the disease.
