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: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients who have undergone Billroth II gastroenterostomy (B-II GE) has been challenging, requiring flexibility in technical approaches during execution. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of enhanced techniques in performing ERCP on this patient group in Vietnam. Method: A total of 42 Vietnamese patients with B-II GE performed an ERCP using a duodenoscope or a modification of ERCP equipment (a cap-fitted regular forward-viewing endoscope) if the former failed. The effectiveness and safety of the ERCP technique were assessed, particularly in patients who underwent the forward-viewing endoscope method. Result: A total of 39 out of 42 patients had the Vater's papilla identified, among whom 12 patients (30.8%) achieved successful cannulation into the bile duct using a side-viewing endoscope, significantly lower than the success rate using a forward-viewing endoscope (25/27, counted 92.6%, with Conclusion: Alter ERCP utilizing a cap-fitted forward-viewing endoscope can be a primary choice for treating common bile duct stones in patients with a Billroth II gastric resection history because of high efficacy and acceptable complications. It requires a high level of procedural expertise that requires multiple training sessions.
