A systematic review of the predictive factors for the recurrence of acute pancreatitis.
Synthesis in World journal of emergency surgery : WJES, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeAcute Pancreatitis (AP) is a prevalent clinical pancreatic disorder characterized by acute inflammation of the pancreas, frequently associated with biliary or alcoholic events. If not treated with cholecystectomy after the first episode, patients may experience a recurrence of AP, with consequent need for emergency surgery and increased risk of death. Analyzing the risk factors that may contribute to the recurrence of Biliary and Alcoholic Pancreatitis (BAP and AAP), future research can be driven toward new solutions for preventing and treating this pancreatic disease.
methodsA systematic review was conducted selecting studies from BiomedCentral, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science by two independent reviewers. Publications were considered only if written in English in the time interval between January 2000 and June 2024 and investigated the risk factors for the recurrence of BAP and AAP. At the end of the selection, a quality assessment phase was conducted using the PROBAST tool.
resultsIn this systematic review, 8 articles were selected out of 6.945, involving a total sample of 11.271 patients of which 38.77% developed recurrence episodes. 37.5% of the included studies focus on recurrent acute biliary pancreatitis (RBAP), while 62.5% are dedicated to recurrent acute alcoholic pancreatitis (RAAP). The risk factors for the recurrence of AP showed a clear differentiation between the alcoholic and biliary etiology. Most of the considered studies adopted a retrospective design, characterized by a susceptibility to potential methodological biases. However, the trend indicated a more recent increase in prospective studies, together with a greater focus on identifying and understanding the possible risk factors associated with the recurrence of acute pancreatitis (RAP). This result highlighted the progress in the scientific approach toward a more rigorous and systematic assessment of the causes and dynamics that influence the recurrence of the disease.
conclusionStudies highlighted the importance of lifestyle factors, clinical complications, and surgical interventions that can impact the risk of biliary or alcoholic recurrent acute pancreatitis. Increased and systematic adoption of artificial intelligence-based tools could significantly impact future knowledge relating to the risks of recurrence and relative possibilities of prevention.
