Learning Curve of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Using Single-Balloon Enteroscopy.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy is technically difficult. Extensive training is required to develop the ability to perform this procedure.
aimsTo investigate the learning curve of single-balloon-assisted enteroscopy ERCP (SBE-ERCP).
methodsWe conducted a retrospective, observational case series at a single center. We evaluated the SBE-ERCP procedures between April 2011 and February 2021. The main outcomes were the rate of reaching the target site and the success rate of the entire procedure. These parameters were additionally expressed as a learning curve.
resultsA total of 687 SBE-ERCP procedures were analyzed. The learning curve was analyzed in blocks of 10 cases. In this study, seven endoscopists, experts in conventional ERCP, were included. The overall SBE-ERCP procedural success rate was 92.2% (634/687 cases). Combining all data from individual endoscopists' evaluation periods, the insertion and success rates of the SBE-ERCP procedures gradually increased with increased experience performing SBE-ERCP. The insertion success rates for the number of SBE-ERCP cases (< 20, 21-30, > 30) were 82.9%, 92.9%, and 94.3%, respectively; the procedure success rates were 74.3%, 81.4%, and 92.9%, respectively. The endoscopists who had performed > 30 SBE-ERCP cases had a success rate of ≥ 90%.
conclusionsOur results suggest that performing > 30 cases is one of the targets for conventional ERCP experts to become competent in performing SBE-ERCP in patients with a surgically altered anatomy.
