1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 commonly used in both the diagnosis and the treatment of biliary and pancreatic disorders. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of OB usage during ERCP on duodenal motility, the tolerability of the procedure (by patients) and the difficulty of the procedure (by the endoscopist).

methodThe study was conducted in Konya Training and Research Hospital General Surgery Endoscopy Unit in randomized prospective pattern. The patients were divided into the two groups as spasmolytic and control groups. The procedure was performed under topical anesthesia and sedation.

resultsThere were 100 cases included into the study (50 cases in each group). The mean duodenal motility score was found to be 1.9 ± 0.5 in the study group and 3 ± 0.6 in the control group. In the study group, the tolerability of the procedure score by the endoscopist was moderate in 16 % and well/very well in 78 % of the cases. On the other hand, in the control group, the scores were poor in 21 %, moderate in 71 %, and well/very well in 24 % of the cases. In terms of patient satisfaction, in study group 42 % of the cases reported the procedure as moderate and 58 % reported as well/very well. However, in the control group 16 % of the cases reported the procedure as poor, 58 % moderate, and 26 % as well/very well.

conclusionOtilonium bromide is a safe agent with low side effects. It can be used before the ERCP procedure to decrease the duodenal motility. It eases the procedure, moreover, it increases the patients' satisfaction.
