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
aimsEUS-guided gallbladder drainage has been increasingly applied for acute cholecystitis in high-risk surgical patients. In cases of EUS-guided gallbladder drainage with lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs), endoscopic retrieval of gallstones becomes feasible. However, retrieval of giant gallstones is still difficult because of the limited space in the saddle section of the LAMS. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic laser lithotripsy and lithotomy through LAMSs for the removal of giant gallstones.
methodsFive consecutive patients with recurrent cholecystitis due to giant gallstones were enrolled. We proceeded with EUS-guided LAMS implantation. Endoscopic laser lithotripsy and lithotomy then was performed through the LAMSs, and the stents were removed after all stones were extracted. The patients were followed up at scheduled times.
resultsEUS-guided LAMS implantation was successfully performed, and target gallstones were completely removed in all 5 patients. There was no severe bleeding, perforation, or stent migration during the operation. No recurrence of gallstones was found at late follow-up.
conclusionsEndoscopic laser lithotripsy and lithotomy through LAMSs could be a safe and effective approach for removal of giant gallstones.
