Long-Term Multisystem Comorbidity Patterns in Acute Pancreatitis: Insights From Observational and Genetic Analysis.
Observational study in United European gastroenterology journal, 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
introductionAcute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory pancreatic disorder with potentially severe systemic consequences. While its immediate clinical impact is well established, the long-term multisystem comorbidities of AP remain underexplored. Clarifying the temporal sequence of these comorbidities is essential for improving patient outcomes.
methodsWe conducted a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) to investigate the associations between AP and 1429 clinical outcomes using Cox proportional hazards models in the UK Biobank. A total of 4767 AP cases were matched 1:10 with controls through birth year, sex, and Townsend deprivation index using incidence density sampling. Disease trajectory analyses were performed to characterize sequential diagnostic patterns of AP-associated comorbidities. Genetic approaches including polygenic risk score analysis, linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), and two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) were used as a genetic triangulation framework to provide complementary evidence for the observational findings and explore shared genetic architecture and potential causal relevance.
resultsOver an average follow-up of 13.7 years, AP was associated with 250 incident comorbidities and all-cause death. Three major temporal patterns of AP-related comorbidities were identified, beginning with digestive diseases (e.g., chronic pancreatitis), metabolic and endocrine disorders (e.g., diabetes mellitus), as well as other systemic conditions (e.g., depression). Subsequently, increased risk of organ dysfunction such as myocardial infarction, renal failure, respiratory failure, and then dystrophia, sepsis, septicemia, acidosis followed by all-cause death were observed. The polygenic PheWAS, LDSC, and TSMR analyses provided complementary support for selected associations, including chronic pancreatitis, cyst and pseudocyst of pancreas, duodenal ulcer, diabetes mellitus, anxiety disorder, asthma, and myocardial infarction.
conclusionsThis study characterizes long-term multisystem comorbidity patterns associated with AP, highlighting temporal diagnostic patterns linked to adverse outcomes. These findings support the need for multidisciplinary monitoring and targeted interventions to mitigate long-term risks in AP patients.
