Inflammatory bowel disease increases the risk of pancreatitis: a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis.
Synthesis in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPrevious studies have suggested an association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and pancreatitis, including acute pancreatitis (AP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). We aimed to examine the potential causal relationship between IBD and pancreatitis using the Mendelian randomization (MR) method.
methodsWe obtained data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in European individuals for IBD and its main subtypes, Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) (31,665 IBD cases, 13,768 UC cases, 17,897 CD cases and 33,977 controls). Four independent summary statistics of pancreatitis from the the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI, 10,630 AP cases and 844,679 controls, 1,424 CP cases and 476,104 controls) and FinnGen Consortium (8,446 AP cases, 4,820 CP cases and 437,418 controls) were used for bidirectional MR analyses and sensitivity analysis. Finally, further meta-analysis was conducted on the MR results.
resultsGenerally, IBD is associated with an increased risk of pancreatitis (IBD-AP, OR = 1.050, 95% CI 1.020-1.080, P = 7.20 × 10
conclusionIn conclusion, based on MR analysis and meta-analysis, our results showed a positive causal effect of IBD on pancreatitis, and subgroup analyses showed that UC and CD may promote the development of acute pancreatitis, whereas UC may promote the development of chronic pancreatitis. Reverse MR analysis suggests that AP may have a potential protective effect on IBD and CD.
