Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Hepaticogastrostomy in a Seven-year-old Girl.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) is an effective biliary drainage procedure in adult cases with difficult biliary access. However, there have been no reports on this procedure being used in pediatric cases. We successfully performed EUS-HGS in a pediatric case with a surgically altered anatomy. A standard convex-type echoendoscope and standard devices were used, and there were no device-related complications. The benefit of EUS-HGS for pediatric patients was avoidance of a percutaneous tube, which is difficult to maintain in active children. The accumulation of further cases and performance of a prospective study are warranted to standardize and expand the experience with this procedure.
