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

purpose of reviewEndoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) has been proved to have better efficacy and safety in removing common bile duct stones. Conventional endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is usually performed before EPLBD. However, EPLBD without EST has recently reported short-term outcomes similar to those of EPLBD with EST. This article summarizes the latest research advances in EPLBD with or without EST for the treatment of large common bile duct stones (CBDS) as a way to provide further evidence to support the ERCP surgeon's choice of which technique to use for the treatment of large CBDS.

findingsEPLBD alone is recommended in cases of anatomical abnormalities or bleeding tendencies. EPLBD with EST is recommended in patients with stenosis of the duodenal papilla or distal common bile duct or with periportal diverticula. Most clinical studies have shown that the clinical efficacy and incidence of adverse events associated with ESLBD are comparable to those of standalone EPLBD. However, further large-scale prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.
