Efficacy of 2-Mercaptoethane Sulfonate Sodium (MESNA) in the Prevention of Pancreatitis After Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Randomized Open Label Trial.

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 Aim: Oxidative stress has been considered a factor in the development of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP). The present clinical trial evaluated whether adding intravenous mesna to rectal indomethacin could prevent or alleviate PEP. Methods: An open-labeled clinical trial was done on 698 participants undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Eligible patients received 100 mg indomethacin suppository 30 min before undergoing ERCP. Randomly, the participants received 400 mg intravenous mesna or nothing 30 min before doing the procedure. The PEP incidence and degree were measured in the patients as the main outcome. Results: The total rate of PEP was equal to 13.7%. No significant difference was seen in the rate and severity of PEP between the mesna plus indomethacin and indomethacin alone arms (14% vs. 13.4%, respectively, Conclusion: In high-risk patients undergoing ERCP, a combination of intravenous mesna plus rectal indomethacin may decrease the PEP rate and severity.
