Long-term quality of life after acute pancreatitis: a systematic review and meta-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 5 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
backgroundThe long-term impact of acute pancreatitis (AP) on quality of life (QoL) remains inconclusive. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate long-term QoL outcomes in patients after AP.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang databases up to April 10, 2025. Studies comparing QoL between AP patients and healthy controls were included. Pooled mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed- or random-effects models, depending on heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed using Egger's test.
resultsEleven studies comprising 2,541 participants were included. Follow-up durations after AP ranged from 7 to 115 months. Compared with healthy controls, AP patients showed significantly lower QoL scores in five SF-36 domains: bodily pain (pooled MD: - 10.83, 95% CI - 21.60 to - 0.05, P = 0.05, I
conclusionPatients with a history of AP experience persistent impairments in specific QoL domains, particularly bodily pain, general health, vitality, role emotional, and mental health. However, physical function, role physical, and social functioning do not show appear relatively preserved. Future research should prioritize the development of validated, disease-specific QoL assessment tools for pancreatic disorders. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42023462539.
