Impact of endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage for postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreatic surgery.
Article in DEN open, 2024. 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
Objectives: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a major cause of morbidity after pancreatic surgery. Recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage (EUS-TD) has been widely used to manage pancreatic pseudocysts after acute pancreatitis. Several studies have reported the effectiveness of EUS-TD for POPF, although there is insufficient evidence regarding the performance of EUS-TD for POPF. We herein report on the safety, efficacy, and appropriate timing of EUS-TD for POPF compared with conventional percutaneous intervention. Methods: Eight patients who underwent EUS-TD of POPF and 36 patients who underwent percutaneous intervention were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical outcomes, including technical success, clinical success, and complications, were analyzed among the two groups. Results: In terms of clinical outcomes between the EUS-TD and percutaneous intervention groups, significant differences were observed in the number of interventions (1 vs. 4, Conclusions: EUS-TD for POPF appears to be safe and technically feasible. This approach should be considered a therapeutic option in patients with POPF after pancreatic surgery.
