Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Naso-gallbladder Drainage Using a Dedicated Catheter for Acute Cholecystitis After Transpapillary Metal Stent Placement for Malignant Biliary Obstruction.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAcute cholecystitis is a significant adverse event after self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement for malignant biliary obstruction (MBO); however, no appropriate treatment strategy has been established for its management.
aimsThis study aimed to examine the feasibility and utility of endoscopic ultrasound-guided naso-gallbladder drainage (EUS-NGBD) for the management of acute cholecystitis occurring after SEMS placement.
methodsThis retrospective study investigated consecutive patients with acute cholecystitis after SEMS placement for unresectable MBO, in whom EUS-NGBD was attempted. The study outcomes included technical success, clinical success, procedure time, adverse event, and cholecystitis recurrence, associated with the procedure.
resultsDuring the study period, EUS-NGBD was performed for SEMS-related acute cholecystitis in 30 patients with MBO. The technical and clinical success rates were 96.7% (29/30) and 96.6% (28/29), respectively. The median procedure time was 15 min, and rate of procedure-related adverse event was 3.3% (1/30). The median duration from the procedure to tube removal was 9 days. No adverse events were observed after removal. The median hospitalization duration after the procedure was 14 days, and the median duration to the (re-)start of chemotherapy from cholecystitis onset was 13 days. The median overall survival after EUS-NGBD was 123 days, and the rate of cholecystitis recurrence until death was 4.2% (1/28).
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that EUS-NGBD possesses good technical and clinical feasibility with an acceptable adverse event rates and short hospitalization and chemotherapy withdrawal period. Therefore, EUS-NGBD may be a good option for the treatment of SEMS-related cholecystitis in patients with MBO.
