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
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) training remains challenging. This study used 3D printing techniques to develop and optimize a portable ERCP training simulator and to implement basic and advanced practical techniques. Subsequently, we aimed to determine whether endoscopy trainees acquired proficiency in ERCP techniques and assess any improvements in their skill levels from using this model. An ERCP training model was generated using 3D printing techniques, including five distinct interchangeable and transparent ampullar-common bile duct (CBD) modules. A prospective study using this model was conducted with ten trainees. The technical success rate and examination times for duodenoscope insertion and biliary cannulation were evaluated. In addition, the successful plastic-stent insertion rate and trainee satisfaction were measured. The success rates for duodenoscopy, cannulation, and plastic stent insertion were 94, 100, and 92%, respectively. The mean satisfaction scores for duodenoscope insertion, cannulation, and plastic stent insertion were 4.4, 4.7, and 4.6 on a 5-point scale, respectively. Five attempts decreased the insertion time (R = - 0.591, P < 0.001) and cannulation time (R = - 0.424, P = 0.002). This ERCP-training silicon model is durable, simulates ERCP techniques easily, and helps trainees improve their ERCP techniques.
