Benefits of endoscopic gallbladder stenting following percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 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
backgroundEndoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage is challenging because of the complexity of the procedure and high incidence of adverse events (AEs). To overcome these problems, endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) can be effective, as it mitigates inflammation and adhesion.
aimTo examine the benefits of EGBS after PTGBD to assess its efficacy and impact on AEs.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data from 35 patients who underwent EGBS after PTGBD at a single center between January 2016 and December 2023. The primary outcomes were technical success and AEs, and the rate of recurrent cholecystitis was evaluated. In addition, the reasons for the failure of the procedure were identified.
resultsAmong the 35 patients, the technical success rate was 77.1% and the final contrast of the cystic duct was successful in 97.1% of patients. The incidence of early AEs was relatively low (11.4%), with no instances of cystic duct perforation. The rate of recurrent cholecystitis was 3.7%, and no other biliary events were observed.
conclusionEGBS after PTGBD may be significantly beneficial, with a substantial success rate and minimal AEs in both short- and long-term follow-ups.
