I read with interest an article "Updated meta-analysis of pancreatic stent placement in preventing post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis" by Fan and colleagues in World J Gastroenterol 2015; 21(24): 7577-7583. Although I appreciate their work, I have found problems with the data extracted and analyzed by the authors, and will give my comment in this letter. It would be valuable if the authors could provide an accurate estimation of their extracted data.
