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

backgroundHepaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture (HJS) is a rare complication after pancreatoduodenostomy. However, the rate of HJS may be increased with the expansion of operative indications, such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. Recently, the indications for EUS-guided biliary drainage to treat benign biliary disease have expanded. Recently, novel transluminal treatment protocol has been established in our hospital. The aim of this study was thus to evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of our treatment protocol. PATIENTS AND

methodConsecutive patients with complications of HJS between January and December 2018 were enrolled in this study. EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (HGS) is firstly performed. After 7 days to create the fistula, HGS stent is removed. HJS is transluminally evaluated by a cholangioscope, and antegrade balloon dilation is attempted. After 3 months, if HJS is still presence, antegrade stent deployment is performed using a covered metal stent. Also, after 1 month, antegrade stent removal is transluminally performed.

resultsAmong total 29 patients, 14 patients were underwent antegrade metal stent deployment. The technical success rate of antegrade stent deployment was 92.9%. Median period of stent placement was 30.5 days (range 28-38 days), and transluminal stent removal was successfully performed in all patients. During follow-up (median 278 days; range 171-505 days), recurrence of HJS was seen in 2 patients. Severe adverse events were not seen in any patients during follow-up period.

conclusionTransluminal stent deployment for HJS under EUS-guidance appears feasible and safe, although further study with a larger sample size and longer follow-up is warranted.
