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

backgroundEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been one of the most intensely studied endoscopic procedures due to its overall high complication rates when compared to other digestive endoscopy procedures. The safety and outcome of such procedures have been linked to multiple procedure- or patient-related risk factors. The aim of our study is to evaluate whether the morphology of the major duodenal papilla influences the ERCP outcomes and complication rates.

methodsA total of 322 patients with a native papilla have been included in the study over an eight month period. Morphology of the papilla has been classified into normal papilla and four anatomical variations (Type I-IV). All patients have been prospectively monitored over a 15 day period after ERCP. Procedural outcomes and complication rates have been registered.

resultsMorphology of the papilla influences both overall complication rates (95%CI,
