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 of the study were to determine the success, complication and recurrence rate of endoscopic papillectomies in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients. Ampullary adenoma is frequent in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients. Endoscopic papillectomy is technically demanding for laterally spreading ampullary adenomas and bleeding, perforation and pancreatitis represent typical complications. 40 FAP patients undergoing endoscopic papillectomy were retrospectively analyzed. Data on periprocedural complications, histopathology, resection techniques and success were collected. Endoscopic papillectomy was performed in 21 male and 19 female patients. Mean adenoma size was 14 mm (8-40 mm). Additional mucosal resection was performed in 45%. Immediate and delayed bleeding occurred in 33% (n = 13) and 13% (n = 5), respectively. Bleeding was associated with male sex and pancreatic endoprosthesis. Endoscopically manageable perforation occurred in 2 patients. Acute pancreatitis occurred in 25% (n = 10) and was significantly associated with female sex. Histopathology revealed papillitis in 5% (n = 2), adenoma with low-grade dysplasia in 73% (n = 29), high-grade dysplasia in 13% (n = 5), and adenocarcinoma in 5% (n = 2). Cumulative recurrence-free resection was achieved in 94% (n = 33/35) after a mean of 1.4 procedures at a median follow-up of 591 days (range 15-2605). Endoscopic papillectomy shows a high clinical success in FAP patients even with laterally spreading adenoma. Adenoma recurrence can be successfully treated with a limited number of reinterventions.
