Results of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedures at surgical clinics: A multicenter observational study in Türkiye.

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
backgroundEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an invasive endoscopic procedure used mainly to treat hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) diseases. The need for ERCP has increased with the rising number of HPB diseases over the past decade. Thus, due to increased demand, ERCP is performed at more centers. Currently, it is performed by general surgeons, gastroenterology and invasive radiology specialists in the United States and Europe as recommended by the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG).
aimTo present the results of ERCP procedures from fourteen surgical centers in Türkiye.
methodsFourteen surgical centers performing ERCP were included in the present study. The age, gender, ERCP indication, success status, post-ERCP complications, ERCP reports and the files of 66993 patients who underwent ERCP were collected from the participating centers. The results are discussed according to the targets declared by the BSG, which are volume load per annum, proportion of successful cannulation (> 85%), bile duct clearance rate (> 75%), stenting rate for strictures (> 80%) and complications (< 6%).
resultsA total of 66993 ERCP procedures were performed in the centers included in the study up to August 2024. 29250 (43.6%) of the procedures were performed urgently, especially for suppurative cholangitis, biliary tract injuries,
conclusionThere is a huge shortage of ERCP endoscopists worldwide due to insufficient ERCP training and centers especially in developing and underdeveloped countries. As patients requiring ERCP usually present to surgical practitioners, the incorporation of surgeons into this training program is an effective and reliable solution. The BSG recommends the incorporation of surgeons and radiologists in addition to gastroenterology specialists. This study is the first to present the results of ERCP procedures from fourteen surgical centers throughout Türkiye. The results suggest that the surgical centers included were able to achieve the targets set by the BSG. This study demonstrated that the surgical ERCP units in the present work have reached satisfactory results and provided a reliable and successful ERCP service. There are currently no issues regarding the validity and appropriateness of the surgeons performing ERCP. Therefore, ERCP training should be encouraged in surgeons and more surgical ERCP centers should be provided.
