Acute Pancreatitis in Children: Analysis of 15 Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Acute pancreatitis (AP) in children, although rare, has shown an increasing incidence. This retrospective study analyzed 15 pediatric AP cases over a six-year period from January 2019 to December 2024 at Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda, Morocco. The results revealed a male predominance with a sex ratio of 1.5 and a mean age of 8.8 years. The average time from symptom onset to consultation was 3.5 days. The predominant symptom was constant abdominal pain (100%), followed by vomiting (71.4%). Biologically, lipase levels were elevated in 100% of cases, with amylase elevation observed in 14.3%. Radiologically, patients were classified using the Balthazar staging system, with 40% at stage E. Etiologies were mainly idiopathic (26.6%), traumatic (20%), and biliary (20%). All patients received medical treatment, with 6.6% requiring interventional drainage. The majority had favorable outcomes, with 6.6% developing pseudocysts. Diagnosis relies on clinical, biochemical, and radiological criteria, and management is primarily supportive. Early and adequate treatment is essential to prevent complications. Antibiotic use and fluid management protocols require clearer definition.
