Acute Recurrent and Chronic Pancreatitis as Initial Manifestations of Cystic Fibrosis and Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator-Related Disorders.
Article in Pancreas, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesRecurrent pancreatitis is considered a rare manifestation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) dysfunction; this case series highlights that pancreatitis can be a presenting symptoms of cystic fibrosis (CF) or a CFTR-related disorder (CFTR-RD).
methodsRetrospective review of patients younger than 30 years diagnosed as having acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) or chronic pancreatitis (CP) and subsequently diagnosed as having CF or CFTR-RD.
resultsAmong 18 patients, median time from diagnosis of ARP/CP to diagnosis of CF was 0.4 years (range, 0-33 years). Eight were classified as having CF by elevated sweat chloride testing (SCT). Five had intermediate SCT (30-59 mmol/L) with 2 pathogenic mutations. Five had CFTR-RD with intermediate SCT and 0 to 1 pathogenic mutations. Eight patients (44%) had exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and pancreatic fluid collections were more common in this group. Based on the CFTR mutation, 6 patients were eligible for CFTR potentiator therapy, although none received it during the study period. Nine of the 18 had ≥1 other likely CF manifestations, including sinusitis (33%), nasal polyps (11%), pneumonia (22%), and gallbladder disease (22%).
conclusionsCystic fibrosis or CFTR-RD can present as ARP/CP. Complete diagnostic testing for CFTR-RD in patients with ARP/CP will broaden treatment options and help to identify comorbid illness.
