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

backgroundEndotherapy is a common method of treatment in patients with symptomatic walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN). The aim of this study is to indicate the potential therapeutic possibilities created by the combination of several new endoscopic techniques and the evaluation of their efficacy in the treatment of WOPN.

methodsThe retrospective analysis of results and complications in the group of 101 patients, who underwent endoscopic treatment of symptomatic WOPN between years 2011 and 2015.

resultsEndoscopic treatment was started in 101 patients (71 men, 30 women; mean age 50.97 years) with symptomatic WOPN. Single transluminal gateway technique (SGT) was used in 93/101 (92.08%) patients. SGT in combination with multiple transluminal gateway technique (MTGT) was exploited in 4/93 (4.30%) patients, while in combination with single transluminal gateway transcystic multiple drainage (SGTMD) in 22/93 (23.66%) patients. Transpapillary access was used in 11/101 (10.89%) patients. 20/101 (19.80%) patients underwent percutaneous drainage. Fluoroscopy-guided endoscopic necrosectomy was performed in 19/101 (18.81%) patients. The combinations of endoscopic techniques depended on the extent of necrosis. Procedure-related complications occurred in 16/101 (15.84%) patients. The mortality rate was 0.99% (1/101 patient). Therapeutic success was achieved in 99/101 (98.02%) patients. The long-term success of endoscopic treatment was achieved in 97/101 (96.04%) patients with symptomatic WOPN.

conclusionsApplication of new endoscopic techniques in the treatment of the patients with symptomatic WOPN significantly improves the efficiency of endotherapy with an acceptable amount of complications.
