Are Lumen-Apposing Metal Stents More Effective Than Plastic Stents for the Management of Pancreatic Fluid Collections: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Review in Gastroenterology research and practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsRecently, a new type of metal stent, named lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS), has been designed to manage pancreatic fluid collections (PFC), and a few studies have reported its efficacy and safety. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the role of LAMS for PFC.
methodsWe searched the studies from PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases from inception to May 2019. We extracted the data and analyzed the technical success, clinical success, and adverse events of LAMS to evaluate its efficacy and safety.
resultsTwenty studies with 1534 patients were included. The pooled technical success, clinical success, and adverse event rates of LAMS for PFC were 96.2% (95% confidence interval (CI): 94.6%-97.4%), 86.8% (95% CI: 83.1%-89.8%), and 20.7% (95% CI: 16.1%-26.1%), respectively. Eight studies including 875 patients compared the clinical outcomes of LAMS with plastic stents. The pooled risk ratio (RR) of technical success and clinical success for LAMS and plastic stent was 1.01 (95% CI: 0.98-1.04,
conclusionsOur current study revealed that LAMS has advantages over plastic stents for PFC, with higher clinical success rate and lower complication rate of infection and occlusion.
