Role of Pancreatic Divisum in Pediatric Pancreatitis: A Retrospective Observational Study.
Article in Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of pancreatic divisum (PD) in children with pancreatitis. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at a pediatric surgery tertiary center which included children aged <18 years who presented with pancreatitis between January 2013 and June 2024. The children with pancreatitis having PD (PD pancreatitis group) were compared to the children with pancreatitis not having PD (non-PD pancreatitis group). Results: A total of 275 children with pancreatitis were included in the study and 15 (5.5%) of them had PD. Type 1 (Classical) PD was seen in 11 (69%) of the children and nine (60%) children presented with acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP). The children with PD pancreatitis presented at a younger age (9.8 ± 4.3 years vs. 12.2 ± 3.7 years; Conclusion: Children with PD present at a younger age with pancreatitis and are at increased risk of developing ARP. This suggests that PD is an independent etiology for developing pancreatitis in children.
