Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage for malignant jaundice by using electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stents (Hot-SPAXUS stent).
Article in Annals of gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Biliary drainage with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for tumoral jaundice fails in a certain percentage of patients. In these patients, endoscopic ultrasonography-guided lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) with electrocautery-enhanced (ECE) technology allows a single-step, radiation-free palliative treatment. Methods: We reviewed the data of patients who underwent choledochoduodenostomy with placement of ECE-LAMS (Hot-SPAXUS stent) after ERCP failure in a single tertiary center. Technical and clinical success rates were calculated and adverse events recorded. Results: Data of 15 patients (8 male, median age 72 years) were collected. The procedure was technically successful in all patients, whilst clinical success was achieved in 14 (93.3%) patients. One (6.7%) patient presented delayed bleeding treated endoscopically. At follow up, stent occlusion with recurrence of jaundice occurred in 2 (13.3%) patients, due to food impaction (n=1), or neoplastic ingrowth (n=1). Conclusion: Our results suggest that the Hot-SPAXUS procedure is effective and safe for palliative treatment in patients with distal biliary malignant obstruction after failure of ERCP.
