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

rationaleEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the treatment of choice for biliary complications in liver transplantation (LT) recipients as it is both diagnostic and therapeutic. The specific risks following ERCP among LT recipients have not been well studied. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 56-year-old man with a history of orthotopic LT underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) as a treatment of biliary strictures, whereby a plastic stent was implanted. Thirteen days after ERCP the patient developed multiple episodes of hematemesis. DIAGNOSIS: Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of the hepatic artery and superior mesenteric artery showed a hepatic pseudoaneurysm (PA) in the left hepatic artery. The final diagnosis was bleeding from the PA.

interventionInterventional embolization of the branch with PA was performed to stop the bleeding. OUTCOME: The patient remained free of GI bleeding for 25 days after interventional embolization, but he developed another bout of bleeding and unfortunately passed away. LESSONS: ERCP-related complication is not the only cause of post-ERCP bleeding, and that other primary causes should also be ruled out.
