Risk of recurrent acute pancreatitis with GLP-1 receptor agonists after prior pancreatitis: a systematic review.
Review in Acta diabetologica, 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
introductionGlucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely used for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. However, their safety in patients with prior pancreatitis remains uncertain. This systematic review aims to evaluate the risk of recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) associated with GLP-1 RA therapy.
methodsWe systematically searched for studies evaluating the safety of GLP-1 receptor agonists in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or obesity and a history of acute pancreatitis. The primary outcome was recurrent acute pancreatitis. We included studies of adults with prior acute pancreatitis treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists for type 2 diabetes, obesity, or related metabolic conditions. Studies without recurrent acute pancreatitis outcomes, pediatric populations, overlapping cohorts, insufficient data, or non-original publications were excluded.
resultsWe included four studies comprising 10,624 patients, of whom 5,427 (51.0%) received GLP-1 receptor agonists. Two studies provided comparative data (5,224 GLP-1 RA users; 5,197 controls). GLP-1 receptor agonist use was associated with lower odds of recurrent acute pancreatitis than placebo (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.05-1.32) and lower risk than SGLT2 inhibitor use (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.52-0.64). Two additional studies provided recurrence rates among GLP-1 RA users with prior pancreatitis, reporting rates of 9.9% (95% CI 5.8%-16.3%) and 11.9% (95% CI 5.1%-25.8%).
conclusionAcross the four included studies, GLP-1 receptor agonist use was not associated with an increase in RAP among patients with a prior history of acute pancreatitis. However, comparative evidence was limited to two studies, warranting cautious interpretation of these findings.
