Comparison of long-term outcomes after endoscopic sphincterotomy versus endoscopic papillary balloon dilation: a propensity score-based cohort analysis.
Article in Journal of gastroenterology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundEndoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) is widely performed in patients with common bile duct stones (CBDS). However, the long-term outcomes of patients following ES have not been sufficiently elucidated. Impaired papillary function following ES may result in additional late complications. In contrast, endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD)-another option for treating CBDS-is expected to preserve papillary function. This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of patients with CBDS treated with ES to those treated with EPBD in a large cohort. In addition, a subgroup analysis was performed, according to gallbladder (GB) status.
methodsA cohort study was performed using propensity score matching to reduce treatment selection bias. This involved the analysis of follow-up data for 1086 patients who underwent EPBD or ES for CBDS.
resultsPropensity score matching extracted 246 pairs of patients. The median (interquartile range) follow-up period after EPBD or ES was 93.5 (46.8-129.2) months and 90 (42-139.3) months, respectively. The incidence of CBDS recurrence after EPBD and ES were 8.5 and 15.0 %, respectively. The hazard ratio (95 % CI) was 0.577 (0.338-0.986) (P = 0.044). Based on the status of the GB, the incidence of CBDS recurrence was significantly different between post-EPBD and post-ES in the group with cholecystectomy after EPBD/ES (P = 0.013).
conclusionsThe incidence of biliary complications was significantly lower in patients after EPBD than in those after ES, and this outcome appeared most markedly in patients who also underwent cholecystectomy.
