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
Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is challenging for patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA). The blades of conventional sphincterotomes designed for SAA do not always face the correct direction of EST. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel rotatable sphincterotome for EST in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastrectomy during balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (BE-ERCP). Patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy who underwent BE-ERCP and EST using a novel rotatable sphincterotome between April 2024 and February 2025 were analyzed. Overall, 30 patients were attempted EST with a novel rotatable sphincterotome. EST, including adjustment of the blade to the correct incision direction, was successfully performed in all patients. The median time to complete EST was 3 min. Adverse events occurred in one case of mild post-ERCP pancreatitis. There was no bleeding or perforation associated with EST. No significant differences were observed in the success rate of EST, time to complete EST, or adverse event rate between the experienced endoscopists and trainee fellows. The use of a novel rotatable sphincterotome for EST during BE-ERCP was technically feasible and safe in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastrectomy, which may help standardize EST in patients with SAA.
