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
Background: Endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) has been recommended as a potential alternative to endoscopic sphincterotomy for common bile duct stones (CBDS), due to protecting the sphincter function. Objectives: This retrospective study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) versus endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) after EPBD for CBDS. Design: This study is a retrospective analysis of patients with CBDS who underwent EPBD followed by either ENBD or ERBD. It enrolled 283 patients, who underwent slow dilation and long-duration EPBD for CBDS with ENBD (eNbd group, Methods: Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance preoperative baselines and intraoperative specifics, resulting in 220 matched patients (110 patients per group). The incidence rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) was compared between the two groups, and risk factors for PEP were analyzed. Results: After PSM, there were no significant differences in the baseline between the eNbd group and the eRbd group. The eNbd group exhibited significantly greater reduction in serum bilirubin levels compared to the eRbd group. Before PSM, the incidence rate of PEP was 2.6% (4/154) in the eNbd group and 8.5% (11/129) in the eRbd group ( Conclusion: ENBD may be an optimal choice for patients with CBDS undergoing EPBD, and the presence of multiple stones may be particularly relevant when considering the risk of PEP.
