Impact of self-expandable metal stent deployment site on stent dysfunction during EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy.

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 Objectives: Hyperplasia at the distal side of an EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (HGS) stent is one of the most frequent causes of stent dysfunction. However, risk factors for hyperplasia during EUS-HGS remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to determine the most appropriate stent site during EUS-HGS to obtain prolonged stent patency. Method: This study included 100 consecutive patients who underwent successful EUS-HGS using a partially covered, self-expandable, metal stent (PCSEMS) between January 2017 and September 2022. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the distal site of the PCSEMS at the intrahepatic bile duct, the peripheral side group and the central side group. Results: There were 30 patients in the peripheral side group and 70 in the central side group. The diameter of the intrahepatic bile duct at the PCSEMS deployment site was significantly greater in the central side group (mean 7.90 mm) than in the peripheral side group (mean 4.25 mm; Conclusions: In conclusion, the distal site of the PCSEMS deployed at the hepatic hilar site from the confluence between B2 and B3 might play a role in obtaining longer stent patency.
