Determination of Psychological Comorbidities in Children With Acute Recurrent or Chronic Pancreatitis Referred for Total Pancreatectomy With Islet Autotransplantation Evaluation: A Single-Center Study.
Article in Pancreas, 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
backgroundMultiple psychological factors and related comorbidities affect children with chronic pancreatitis (CP) or acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP). We aimed to describe the frequency of psychological symptoms/diagnoses in children with CP/ARP and predict the severity of the disease burden based on these factors.
methodsWe retrospectively identified patients aged 5 years or younger with a prior history of CP/ARP who were evaluated by a pediatric psychologist as part of their evaluation for total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) at a single center. Symptoms of psychological disorders and prior psychological diagnoses were identified. Patients and their families completed pain questionnaires as part of clinical care. Demographic and pancreatic disease data were collected from electronic medical records. KEY
resultsOf 105 children (mean age 12.1 ± 3.5 y, 54.3% females, 84.4% white), 37.1% had a psychological diagnosis [20.0% anxiety, 13.3% depression, 23.8% attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), 4.8% post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)] while 86.7% displayed symptoms based on DSM-5 criteria (75.7% anxiety, 32.3% depression, 21.1% suicidal ideation, and 40.2% panic). Regarding pain, 38.8% of patients reported daily abdominal pain, 24.3% weekly, 14.6% monthly, and 22.3% less than once per month. In the 6 months prepsychology appointment, 70.9% used opioids in the inpatient setting, 25.7% used opioids in the outpatient setting, and 45.2% were on a neuromodulator to control their pain. The median pain severity did not statistically differ by psychological diagnosis or symptoms ( P =0.16).
conclusionThere was a high prevalence of psychological diagnoses/symptoms in patients with ARP/CP, including suicidal ideation. This highlights the need for future prospective studies to explore the role of mental health in disease outcomes in children with CP or ARP.
