The New Potential for Using Franseen Needles in Interventional EUS.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2024. 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
Objective Adverse events such as bile leakage and bleeding are among the issues that need to be resolved in EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS). To overcome this problem, we developed a new EUS-CDS technique using a 19-G Franseen needle without tract dilation. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the new EUS-CDS technique. Methods This single-center retrospective study included 20 consecutive patients who underwent EUS-CDS for primary drainage using a 19-G Franseen needle between March 2020 and May 2023. The primary endpoint was the technical success rate of EUS-CDS without tract dilation. Results The technical success rate of EUS-CDS was 20/20 (100%). None of the patients required any additional tract dilation, such as by using a balloon or electric cautery. The median procedure time was 7.8 [range, 3.2-19.4] min. No early adverse events were observed. Conclusion The 19-G Franseen needle appeared to have a sufficient dilatory effect during puncturing. This EUS-CDS technique appears to be safe and effective and has the advantages of no adverse events and it is also a simplified procedure, which suggests its potential for widespread use in primary drainage.
