1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a diagnostic tool used to examine pancreatic lesions. In patients who have undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, lesions of the pancreatic head can be difficult to access because of altered foregut anatomy. To access the excluded stomach for better visualization of the pancreatic head, EUS-directed transgastric intervention can be used in a 2-step fashion. We present an interesting case of a 62-year-old woman who underwent a single-session modified EUS-directed transgastric intervention with a fine needle biopsy of a pancreatic head mass. A novel through-the-scope suturing system, the X-tack system (Apollo Endosurgery, Austin, TX), was used to allow for a successful single-session procedure.
