Use of pancreatic endotherapy in patients with chronic pancreatitis: results from a multicenter cohort study in the United States.
Article in Gastrointestinal endoscopy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsAlthough pancreatic endotherapy (PET) is commonly used for treating adverse events of chronic pancreatitis, data on the frequency and factors associated with the use of PET are limited. Our aim was to define the use of and factors predictive for receiving PET in a well-characterized chronic pancreatitis cohort.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional analysis of data from PROCEED, a multicenter U.S. cohort study of chronic pancreatitis. PET modalities primarily consisted of ERCP. A treatment course was defined as the number of sessions performed for a specific indication. A repeat course was defined as PET >1 year after completion of the last course. Multivariable logistic regression identified predictive factors for receiving PET, and proportional rates model assessed risk factors for repeat PET.
resultsOf 681 subjects, 238 (34.9%) received PET. Factors associated with receiving PET included female sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.53), lower education (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.04-1.62), income ≤$50,000 per year (OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.07-1.71), and prior acute pancreatitis (OR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.31-2.32). Of 238 subjects, 103 (43.3%) underwent repeat PET at a median duration of 2 years, with 23.1% receiving 2 courses, 9.7% receiving 3 courses, and 10.4% receiving ≥4 courses.
conclusionsNearly half of patients with chronic pancreatitis who undergo PET received 1 or more repeat courses within 2 to 3 years. In addition to a prior history of acute pancreatitis, demographic and socioeconomic factors were associated with receiving PET.
