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

backgroundEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a key procedure for diagnosing and treating biliary and pancreatic disorders. Although effective, it carries risks, including rare but severe complications such as air embolism. CASE SUMMARY: We report a case of a 58-year-old man who developed extensive air embolism during ERCP. He previously underwent a Whipple procedure and experienced a sudden drop in vital signs and loss of consciousness. Immediate intervention with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and supportive care led to gradual recovery. Imaging confirmed widespread air embolism, which resolved with continued treatment.

conclusionAir embolism is a rare, critical complication of ERCP, especially in patients with prior surgery such as pancreaticoduodenectomy. Early detection and prompt treatment, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, are crucial for favorable outcomes.
