Lumen-apposing metal stents for anastomosis creation throughout the gastrointestinal tract: A large single-center experience.
Article in DEN open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: The introduction of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) has revolutionized the field of therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LAMS in creating an endoscopic ultrasound-guided anastomosis between two segments of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Methods: Data from all consecutive LAMS procedures for anastomosis creation between two segments of the GI, conducted between October 2019 and February 2024, were retrospectively analyzed for technical success (defined as correct deployment of the LAMS in the target), clinical success (defined as achievement of the intended clinical goal), and adverse events. Results: A total of 145 LAMS procedures were performed in 136 patients. Indications for LAMS procedures included the need for endoscopic access to or reversal of surgically excluded segments of the GI tract ( Conclusions: The creation of anastomoses with LAMS between two segments of the GI tract appears to be effective and safe, with a low reintervention rate due to loss of LAMS patency.
