Efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided abscess drainage for non-pancreatic abscesses: A retrospective study.
Article in JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 and Aim: Percutaneous drainage of intra-abdominal abscesses is often uncomfortable for the patient and may result in prolonged hospital stays. Recent studies have shown that endoscopic ultrasound-guided abscess drainage (EUS-AD) could effectively treat various abscesses and fluid collections. However, no indications or procedures have been established for EUS-AD treatments, and studies on its usefulness and safety are insufficient. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS-AD for treating non-pancreatic abscesses. Methods: This retrospective study included 20 patients, aged ≥20 years, who underwent EUS-AD for an abscess or fluid accumulation in the abdomen or mediastinum, but not the pancreas. Patients were treated at the Kawasaki University General Medical Center between March 2013 and June 2021. All EUS-AD procedures were performed prior to a percutaneous drainage or surgical drainage. Results: Among the 20 patients who underwent an EUS-AD for abscess, 8 (40%) had liver abscesses, 6 (30%) had intraperitoneal abscesses, 3 had (15%) splenic abscesses, 1 (5%) had a mediastinal abscess, 1 (5%) had an iliopsoas abscess ( Conclusion: EUS-AD was effective and safe for abscess removal, particularly when approached from the upper gastrointestinal tract.
