1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: Endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder stenting (EGBS) has demonstrated high technical and clinical success rates in endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETGBD) for acute cholecystitis. The effectiveness of a 5-Fr endoscopic naso-gallbladder drainage (ENGBD) tube for flushing and the internal fistula technique after tube cutting has also been reported. We developed an alternative one-step semi-deployed flushing and stenting technique for EGBS using a 7-Fr pigtail stent that avoids tube resection and evaluated its effectiveness and safety compared with that of endoscopic nasogastric gallbladder drainage. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 30 patients who underwent ETGBD for acute cholecystitis between April 2023 and November 2024. Results: The technical and clinical success rates of the one-step semi-deployment flushing and stenting techniques were 95.2% (20/21) and 100% (20/20), respectively. No adverse events were reported. The procedure time did not differ significantly from that of ENGBD. Conclusions: EGBS using one-step semi-deployment flushing and stenting is a simple and effective treatment for acute cholecystitis in patients with ETGBD.
