Endoscopic treatment of chronic pancreatitis in pediatric population: Long-term efficacy and safety.

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
Background: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) in children is an inreasingly recognized disease. Objective: The purpose of study was to analyse the safety and long-term efficacy of endoscopic treatment in children with CP. Methods: Records of 38 patients aged <18 years, referred to the Digestive Endoscopy Unit at Catholic University, Fondazione Policlinico "A. Gemelli" IRCCS between 1991 and 2017, were reviewed. Abdominal pain, analgesia and number of episodes of acute pancreatitis in the pre- and post- endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) period were evaluated. Need for surgery was assessed. Therapeutic intervention data and complications were interrogated. Results: In total 158 ERCPs were performed. Median post-ERCP follow-up was 7 years. The majority of patients had CP type IV (47%) and type Ib (37%) (Cremer's classification). Major papilla pancreatic sphincterotomy was performed in 47%, major and minor in 24% and minor in 29% of patients. Stones/plugs were removed in at least one ERCPs in 66% individuals. Eleven out of 38 patients had stricture of the pancreatic duct; these were dilated and stented in 5/11 and stented in 6/11. Five complications were recorded (3%). Severity and frequency of abdominal pain improved significantly; Conclusion: Endoscopic management of symptomatic CP in children is safe and effective.
