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 ultrasound-guided transmural drainage (EUS-TD) is widely performed to treat postoperative peripancreatic fluid collection (POPFC). Recent reports on EUS-TD lack a consensus on stent selection. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of EUS-TD for POPFC using an external drainage-based approach.

methodsWe retrospectively examined the medical records of patients with POPFC treated with EUS-TD using external drainage from October 2016 to July 2024. Technical success was defined as successful placement of the external drainage. Clinical success was defined as the reduction in fluid collection, as evidenced by follow-up computed tomography 1 week post-procedure.

resultsThis study included 14 patients. The median duration from surgery to endoscopic treatment was 13 (range: 11-26) days. The median procedural time was 26 (range: 13-35) min. The technical success rate was 100%, and 6 Fr endoscopic nasocystic drainage was performed in all patients. The clinical success rate was 100%, and no adverse events were observed. One patient experienced self-removal and required repuncture.

conclusionsEUS-TD for POPFC with an external drainage-based approach is safe and effective, with a short procedure time. However, this was a retrospective study with a small sample size, suggesting that future prospective studies are warranted.
