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
backgroundNonoperative management (NOM) in blunt pancreatic injury (BPI) is frequently complicated by pseudocyst formation and pancreatic atrophy. To address these complications, we have utilized a pancreatic stent via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for children with PDI since 2019.
aimWe present our experience with ERCP-based NOM for PDI and provide a literature review of stent therapy in pediatric PDI. MATERIALS AND
methodsTen children with BPI treated between January 2007 and December 2025 were classified according to the 2024 American Association for the Surgery of Trauma pancreatic injury grades: IB (n = 3), IIA (n = 3), IIIA (n = 2), and IIIB (n = 2). Pancreatic stents were placed in two IIIA cases and one IIIB case. The IIIB case subsequently underwent transpapillary pseudocyst drainage (TPPD) due to a pseudocyst infection.
resultsNOM was successful in all low-grade injuries (< II) without complications. One IIIB patient treated without stenting developed a pseudocyst requiring cyst-gastrostomy; 1-year follow-up demonstrated severe pancreatic atrophy. In the two IIIA stent cases, the duct injury was successfully bridged: one patient had no pseudocyst formation, and the other developed a pseudocyst that resolved spontaneously; both showed preserved pancreatic parenchyma. The IIIB patient treated with TPPD experienced rapid cyst resolution; 1-year imaging revealed approximately 50% distal pancreatic atrophy.
conclusionTPPD should be considered for symptomatic pseudocysts, even after stent placement. ERCP-based NOM for pediatric PDI can be performed safely, may prevent pancreatic atrophy, and represents a valuable option in the management of PDI in children.
