A safe method for rapid therapeutic pancreatic cooling.
Article in iScience, 2024. 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
Acute pancreatitis (AP) has no targeted therapy. Previously, pancreatic cooling to 31°C-33°C and 24°C-27°C, respectively, ameliorated mild and severe AP in rats. Here, Yucatan pigs (40-50Kg) whose abdominal size and anatomy are like humans underwent pancreatic cooling. This was via a gastric cooling balloon placed endoscopically with catheters exteriorized on the abdominal wall. Laparoscopically placed wireless transmitters monitored pancreas tail, head, and urinary bladder temperatures. Controls included un-perfused water filled balloons, and sedation-only groups. Tap water perfusion (375 mL/min) over 1-month was well tolerated without sedation. Perfusion with ≤19°C water achieved pancreatic temperatures ≤32°C and perfusion at ≤10°C achieved ≤26°C in <90 min in sedated supine pigs, which normalized an hour after balloon evacuation. Bladder temperatures, behavioral, biochemical, hematological, and histological parameters were similar between groups. Therefore, rapid transgastric pancreatic cooling can be achieved safely in large animals with relevant anatomy like humans, warranting future clinical studies.
