Kawasaki Disease-Associated Pancreatitis in an Adolescent: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Pediatric reports, 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
backgroundPancreatic involvement in Kawasaki disease (KD) is rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 13-year-old adolescent presented with severe epigastric pain, elevated pancreatic enzyme levels, and conjunctival injection, but he lacked a fever and the other classic features of KD. The patient was initially diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and treated conservatively. As his abdominal pain improved, mucocutaneous findings emerged, leading to a diagnosis of complete KD. A literature review was conducted to summarize reported cases of KD-associated pancreatitis. This review highlights the older age of affected patients, the variability in the timing of pancreatitis onset, and a tendency toward delayed diagnosis.
conclusionsPancreatic involvement, including pancreatitis, can occur before typical mucocutaneous features and should be considered in older children and adolescents presenting with unexplained abdominal pain and pancreatic enzyme elevation. Increased awareness of this atypical presentation may help reduce diagnostic delay and support timely management.
