Multicenter Prospective Study on the Safety of Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Procedures in Antithrombotic Drug Users.
Observational study in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society updated its guidelines for gastroenterological endoscopy in patients undergoing antithrombotic treatment in July 2012. However, the safety of endoscopic procedures in antithrombotic drug users has not been fully investigated.
aimsTo evaluate the safety of upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures in antithrombotic drug users.
methodsFrom September 2013 to September 2015, patients who were taking antithrombotic drugs and who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures were prospectively enrolled at five hospitals. Incidences of bleeding and thrombosis during endoscopic procedures were evaluated.
resultsA total of 270 patients [221 for endoscopic mucosal biopsy and 49 for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)/endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) were enrolled. The bleeding rate was 0.9% for endoscopic mucosal biopsy and 22% for EMR/ESD, respectively. The bleeding rate after endoscopic mucosal biopsy was not significantly high, even if antithrombotic drugs were continued (0 vs. 1%, P > 0.99), while it was significantly higher among multiple antithrombotic drug users than single drug users (5.9 vs. 0%, P < 0.05). The bleeding rate after EMR/ESD was also higher among multiple antithrombotic drug users than single drug users, but was not significantly different (33 vs. 14%, P = 0.17). Moreover, there were no differences in bleeding rates according to the cessation or continuance of antithrombotic drugs (20 vs. 25%, P = 0.74). There were no thromboembolisms in all cases.
conclusionsUpper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures performed under the new guidelines appear acceptable. However, endoscopic procedures among multiple antithrombotic drug users show a greater potential for bleeding.
