Possible mortality reduction by endoscopic sphincterotomy during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: a population-based case-control study.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is widely used for young patients, but ERCP and endoscopic sphincterotomy in particular are reported to be associated with increased complication and mortality rates. This study aimed to calculate mortality and to identify risk factors for death within 90 days after ERCP for nonmalignant disease.
methodsFrom the Swedish Hospital Discharge Registry, the authors identified all individuals in Stockholm County who had undergone in-patient ERCP during 1990-2003. Among these individuals, they excluded those recorded in the Swedish Cancer Registry as having a diagnosis of malignancy in the liver, pancreas, or bile ducts. Cases, defined as patients who had died within 90 days after the procedure, were identified by cross-linkage to the causes of death registry. Control subjects were randomly sampled from the same cohort. The medical records were studied to discern risk factors for death after ERCP.
resultsThe mortality rate was 1.6%. Advanced age, severe comorbidity, high complexity of the procedure, and occurrence of a complication were associated with death within 90 days, whereas a previous cholecystectomy or the simultaneous performance of an endoscopic sphincterotomy reduced the risk.
conclusionsOld age and comorbidity are the main risk factors for death after ERCP, but a complex procedure or the occurrence of a complication also seems to increase short-term mortality. The performance of a sphincterotomy may reduce the risk of death, possibly by facilitating adequate drainage. A previous cholecystectomy also may decrease the risk of death after ERCP.
