Trial report in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDespite advancements, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) poses challenges, including the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis and difficulty of biliary cannulation.
aimTo compare dome and tapered tip sphincterotomes, focusing on their efficacy in achieving successful biliary cannulation and reducing the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis.
methodsIn this prospective, single-blind, randomized pilot study conducted at Inha University Hospital, 85 patients undergoing ERCP were equally divided into dome and tapered tip sphincterotome groups. The co-primary outcomes were the success rate of selective biliary cannulation and incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis. The secondary outcomes included biliary cannulation time, number of unintended pancreatic duct access events, and total procedure time.
resultsThe success rates of selective biliary cannulation were 74.4% and 85.7% in the dome and tapered tip groups, respectively, with no significant difference (
conclusionThis study indicated that the sphincterotome tip type does not markedly affect biliary cannulation success or post-ERCP pancreatitis rates. However, cannulation duration is a key risk factor for post-ERCP pancreatitis. These findings provide preliminary insights that highlight the importance of refining ERCP practices, including sphincterotome selection, while underscoring the need for larger multicenter studies to improve procedure time and patient safety.
