Consensus Minimum MRI Protocol for the Child With Acute Recurrent or Chronic Pancreatitis.
Article in AJR. American journal of roentgenology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of children with acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). Consensus is lacking for a minimum MRI protocol for the child with known or suspected ARP or CP. Lack of standardization contributes to variable diagnostic performance and hampers application of uniform interpretive criteria for clinical diagnosis and multicenter research studies. We convened a working group to achieve consensus for a minimum MRI protocol for children with suspected ARP or CP. The group included eight pediatric radiologists experienced in interpreting MRI for pediatric pancreatitis and one medical pancreatologist and functioned from November 2022 to March 2023. Existing clinical protocols were summarized across sites represented by group members, and commonly used sequences guided the group's discussion. The final consensus minimum MRI protocol includes five noncontrast sequences and two postcontrast sequences (which are required only in select clinical scenarios). The working group also provides recommended acquisition parameters, sequence-specific technical suggestions, and general recommendations for optimal imaging technique. We recommend that all sites imaging children with ARP and CP for clinical care, and particularly those engaged in cooperative group trials for pancreatitis, ensure that their local protocol includes these minimum sequences.
