Adverse events with lumen-apposing metal stents in endoscopic gallbladder drainage: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Endoscopic ultrasound. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundLumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) are rapidly being used in endoscopic interventional drainage procedures and have started to replace the self-expanding metal stents (SEMSs). Its use in gallbladder drainage (GBD) is limited by lack of good-quality studies, and data are scarce on its safety.
methodsWe conducted a comprehensive search of multiple electronic databases and conference proceedings including PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases (from inception through July 2018) to identify studies that reported on the use of LAMS in GBD. The outcomes measured were the pooled rates of all adverse events (AEs), pooled rates of early AEs and pooled rates of delayed AEs.
resultsA total of 8 studies (393 patients) were included. The pooled rate of all AEs was 12.7% (95% CI 8.4-18.7, I
conclusionWe report an overall AE rate of 13% with LAMS in EUS-GBD. Early AE risk appears to be 6.5% and delayed AE risk appears to be 8%. Our results are analyzed out of good-quality studies, with minimal to zero heterogeneity.
