Temporary Trans-gastric Stent Deployment Over a 20 French Gastrostomy for Single-Stage Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography After Gastric Bypass.

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
introductionTreatment of pancreato-biliary disorders after gastric bypass is challenging due to altered anatomy. Several techniques have been proposed to overcome this condition; however, none has emerged as the gold standard treatment. Furthermore, a decision-making algorithm evaluating when and why apply one technique over another is still lacking.
objectivesTo describe a novel trans-gastric approach to allow endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) anatomy soon after prior laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and to propose a decision-making algorithm for selection of the most suitable technique according a tailored approach.
settingPrivate hospital.
methodsBetween January and March 2020, patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy referred to our tertiary center to undergo ERCP after recent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were retrospectively evaluated. A 20 french (Fr) gastrostomy was performed during cholecystectomy. A single-stage ERCP was carried out by means of temporary trans-gastric stent deployment over a 20 Fr gastrostomy.
resultsA total of 5 patients (mean age 41; mean body mass index 48.3) were enrolled. ERCP was performed after an average of 2 days from surgery. Technical and clinical success was achieved in 100%. No adverse events occurred. Spontaneous closure of the gastrostomy after its bedside removal was observed in all cases.
conclusionsOur approach allows to perform a single-stage ERCP in RYGB patients, early after LC, with no need of any other re-interventions. Any surgeon facing unexpected biliary disorders, during LC, can easily perform a 20 Fr gastrostomy thus allowing the patient to undergo early ERCP without any delay.
