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
Performing traditional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy is challenging. The endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) procedure offers a minimally invasive solution. This case describes a 53-year-old woman with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass presenting with cholelithiasis, abnormal liver function tests, and cholecystitis. After initial conservative treatment, a staged EDGE procedure was performed. A lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) was placed in the jejunum, but subsequent attempts to cannulate it with the ERCP scope were unsuccessful due to "bowing" of the efferent loop. A fully covered esophageal stent was placed through the LAMS creating a "ramp" allowing passage of the duodenoscope, enabling successful ERCP and stone removal. This case highlights an effective technique to overcome often encountered challenges accessing LAMS during an EDGE procedure.
