Early mechanisms of diabetes development in pediatric pancreatitis: A pilot study.
Article in Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesApproximately 9% of children with acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) or chronic pancreatitis (CP) have pancreatogenic diabetes during childhood; lifetime risk approaches 50%. To date, data are limited on pathophysiology and biomarkers identifying those at highest risk. This pilot study investigated glycemic physiology in children with ARP or CP.
methodsChildren (5-21 years) with an established diagnosis of CP or ARP, and participants of INSPPIRE-2 (INternational Study Group of Pediatric Pancreatitis: In search for a cuRE) were enrolled. Mixed meal tolerance testing (MMTT) measured glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) at -5, -1, 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 min before/after a Boost HP beverage. Other measures included hemoglobin A1c, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM, Dexcom Pro), HLA haplotype, and diabetes autoantibodies. Glycemic variability metrics were calculated using "cgmanalysis." Dysglycemia was defined by fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dL or HbA1c ≥ 5.7%.
resultsTwenty participants were enrolled (mean age 16.3 years; 65% female, 60% non-Hispanic white, 2 with pre-existing diabetes). Mean HbA1c was 5.7% (range 5.0-8.9); 7/20 had dysglycemia, 1 with previously unrecognized diabetes. Those with dysglycemia differed from normoglycemic participants by having greater insulin resistance, lower GLP-1, and trend toward lower insulin and C-peptide but higher PP on MMTT.
conclusionsIn this small study, 35% of children with pancreatitis had dysglycemia, which may be mechanistically related to insulin resistance. Other trends associated with dysglycemia included impaired insulin secretion, reduced GLP-1, and unexpectedly elevated PP.
