Endoscopic removal of proximally migrated pancreatic duct stents: a case series and literature review.
Article in Annals of gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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: Proximal migration of pancreatic stents is an uncommon but significant problem that poses risks of pain and pancreatitis. It is often a challenging situation for endoscopists, necessitating surgical retrieval in 10% of cases. Method: A 10-year retrospective review was performed of stent removal procedures performed at a tertiary care center in northern India between January 2010 and December 2019. Results: Sixteen patients (mean age 39.52 years, 13 [81.25%] males) with proximally migrated pancreatic stents (PMPSs) were studied. Thirteen (81.25%) patients had a dilated pancreatic duct (PD) and 3 (18.75%) had a non-dilated PD. In the majority of patients, the PMPSs were located at the genu (50%), while 62% were 10 cm in length. Three (18.75%) patients had fragmented stents, whereas the remaining 13 (81.25%) had intact stents Conclusions: Endoscopic retrieval of proximally migrated stents, using a combination of techniques and accessories, is safe and effective. Pancreatoscopy increases the success rates. Surgery is rarely required for stent removal.
