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

backgroundWe evaluated for predictors of successful cannulation and post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) in minor papilla endotherapy (MPE), emphasizing endoscopic minor papilla morphology.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 232 MPEs in 65 patients, assessing minor papilla morphology based on three features: bulge as "prominent" or "subtle," mucosal appearance as "papilla-like" resembling the main papilla or "SMT-like" akin to a gastrointestinal submucosal tumor, and orifice visibility as "clear" or "unclear." Cannulation success was evaluated in 65 enrolled patients, with PEP risk assessed in all 232 MPEs.

resultsMinor papilla morphology was categorized as prominent/subtle bulge in 42/23 patients, papilla-like/SMT-like mucosal appearance in 42/23, and clear/unclear orifice visibility in 24/41. Cannulation succeeded in 54/65 patients (83%). A papilla-like appearance and clear orifice visibility was significantly associated with cannulation success. PEP incidence was 5.2% and predominantly mild. A papilla-like appearance significantly decreased PEP incidence, while precutting technique and orifice dilation significantly increased PEP risk.

conclusionEvaluating minor papilla morphology may help predict cannulation success and PEP risk in MPE. A papilla-like mucosal appearance prognosticates cannulation success and reduced PEP risk, with clear orifice visibility serving as a success predictor. These findings provide practical guidance for preprocedural planning by emphasizing the importance of minor papilla morphology evaluation.
