Efficacy of endoscopic over-the-scope clip fixation for preventing migration of self-expandable metal stents: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Surgical endoscopy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06725563 (Endoscopically Placed Lumen-Apposing Metal Stents as a Safe Alternative to Surgery for the Treatment of Symptomatic Intestinal Strictures in Individuals With Inflammatory Bowel Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 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.

Abstract
backgroundOver-the-scope clips (OTSC), both conventional and Stentfix, are believed to anchor the self-expanding metal (SEMS) and prevent migration. We aimed to systematically study the efficacy of endoscopic OTSC fixation of SEMS in prevention of migration.
methodsWe searched electronic databases from inception to November 11, 2022 to identify studies reporting outcomes of OTSC fixation of metal stents. The primary outcome was to calculate the pooled migration rates following OTSC anchorage of SEMS and to compare it with controls (SEMS without any fixation). The secondary outcomes include technical and clinical success of OTSC anchorage of SEMS. Random effect models were used to determine pooled rates of migration and technical as well as clinical success rates of OTSC anchorage of metal stents.
resultsA total of 9 studies were included. The pooled rate of migration following OTSC anchorage of SEMS was 0.10 (95%CI, 0.04-0.20, I
conclusionsThe use of OTSC clips (conventional or Stentfix) for anchorage had a lower risk of migration of metal stents than no fixation. Future studies should look into prospective multicenter studies on their use to prevent the migration of SEMS.
