EUS-guided gallbladder drainage as a rescue in distal malignant biliary obstruction: A systematic review with meta-analysis.
Review in Endoscopic ultrasound. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction (dMBO) needing biliary drainage (BD) undergo ERCP as a first approach. EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is now accepted as a rescue alternative for the palliation of jaundice in those patients with dMBO who fail ERCP and cannot undergo EUS-BD. This is a systematic review with meta-analysis for evaluating the efficacy and safety of EUS-GBD in this scenario. A comprehensive search through the main database platforms was conducted to May 2024. Pooled estimates were obtained using a fixed-effects model with the generic inverse variance method. Study quality was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale (NOS). Heterogeneity was evaluated with
