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

This multicenter retrospective study included patients undergoing EUS-guided GI anastomoses from 2016 to 2023. Indications for EUS-guided anastomosis were GOO, ALS or patients with altered anatomy needing endoscopic interventions. The primary outcome was technical success, while secondary outcomes included clinical success, safety, lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) patency, and the need for reinterventions. A total of 216 patients (mean age 64.5 [±13.94] years; 49.1% males) were included. In total, 149 cases (69%) were GOO, 44 (20.4%) cases were bilioenteric anastomotic strictures or lithiasis in altered anatomy, 14 cases (6.5%) were ALS, and 9 patients (4.2%) were for ERCP in altered anatomy after EUS-GG. Overall, EUS-GE was performed in 181 patients (83.8%), EUS-JJ in 44 cases (20.4%), and EUS-GG in 10 (4.6%). Technical success was 94.91%, and clinical success was 93.66%. The adverse event (AE) rate was 11.1%. The reintervention rate was 7.69%. The median follow-up was 85 days. In conclusions, EUS-guided GI anastomoses are technically feasible and safe in both malignant and benign diseases.
