The efficacy and safety of one-stage endoscopic treatment for ascending acute cholangitis caused by choledocholithiasis with severe comorbidities.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
backgroundEmergency endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for ascending acute cholangitis in patients with severe comorbidities is challenging. Here, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of one-stage ERCP in such patients by performing a retrospective study.
methodsWe included all patients with ascending acute cholangitis and undergoing ERCP between January 2017 and March 2019. In total, we recruited 212 patients: 74 and 138 with and without severe comorbidities, respectively. We collected and analyzed data related to basal characteristics, ERCP, and clinical outcomes.
resultsElderly age (76.20 ± 9.99 years vs. 66.52 ± 8.16 years, P = 0.000), higher levels of leukocyte count (15.86 ± 2.47 × 10
conclusionsOne-stage ERCP is safe and effective for ascending acute cholangitis caused by choledocholithiasis. Early diagnosis is a significant predictor of clinical outcomes.
