Phenotype, Management, and Outcomes in Paediatric Acute Pancreatitis: A Real-Life Cross-Sectional Study.

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
aimLimited Canadian data on paediatric acute pancreatitis exist. A meta-analysis of 48 studies reported equal prevalence of acute pancreatitis among various aetiologies, with rates of severe acute pancreatitis at 13.7% in North America. The 2018 NASPGHAN Pancreas Committee position statement highlighted the need for evidence on fluid management and early enteral nutrition. We aimed to evaluate the epidemiology and management of acute pancreatitis at a tertiary care centre.
methodsData were extracted from a hospital database for children diagnosed with acute pancreatitis from January 2014 to December 2021. Descriptive analyses were conducted using SAS software.
resultsTwo hundred eight patients (49.0% female) developed acute pancreatitis. The median age was 12.5 years. The most common aetiologies were medication (20.2%), biliary disease (16.4%) and infections (15.4%). The prevalence of moderately severe acute pancreatitis was 10.6%; no patients developed severe acute pancreatitis. Nearly all patients (95.7%) received intravenous fluids. Dietary management during the first 24 h included enteral nutrition (8.2%), oral feeding (32.2%) and fasting (49.5%).
conclusionsPaediatric acute pancreatitis has diverse aetiologie, and its management generally aligns with NASPGHAN guidelines. Future studies should focus on the identification of predictive factors of severity in the paediatric population based on recent severity classifications.
