Percutaneous needle decompression for tension pneumoperitoneum during GI endoscopy: a step-by-step guide.
Review in VideoGIE : an official video journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background and Aims: GI tract perforations during endoscopy can lead to serious adverse events such as tension pneumoperitoneum. In such cases, intraprocedural percutaneous needle decompression can be a lifesaving technique, in addition to allowing procedure completion. The aim of this study is to review the indications for percutaneous needle decompression and provide a step-by-step procedural guide with case examples. Methods: This review article and accompanying video review the technique for percutaneous needle decompression for pneumoperitoneum during endoscopy-related perforation, providing a step-by-step procedural guide illustrated with 2 case examples. Results: In both case examples, intraprocedural needle decompression resulted in rapid normalization of hemodynamics and allowed time to safely complete the procedures after endoscopic closure of the perforation. Conclusions: Early recognition of pneumoperitoneum followed by intraprocedural percutaneous needle decompression with a large-bore catheter can allow time for defect closure and procedure completion or can serve as a temporizing measure until surgical intervention. Endoscopists should be comfortable performing this lifesaving technique in cases of endoscopy-related perforation and/or pneumoperitoneum.
