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

opinion statementPhysicians depend on the use of flexible endoscopes for delivery of vital care that is morbidity sparing compared to surgical alternatives. Iatrogenic infection is a well-documented complication of therapeutic endoscopy. Recent emergence of unique antimicrobial resistance patterns and molecular "fingerprinting" of bacteria harken a new era in duodenoscope-related infections which occur in spite of compliance with device manufacturer-recommended protocols for high-level disinfection (HLD). Further studies suggest that these protocols are likely inadequate. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains critical in the provision of minimally invasive diagnostic, therapeutic, and palliative care for patients with pancreaticobiliary disease. This manuscript reviews the history of duodenoscope-related infections, current challenges to scope reprocessing, and recommendations from regulatory agencies.
