Efficacy and safety of double-balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in surgically altered anatomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
backgroundPerforming endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy poses significant challenges. Double-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (DBE-ERCP) has emerged as a safe and effective approach in this patient population. This study aims to provide an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of the safety and efficacy of DBE-ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA), building on previously published evidence.
aimTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of DBE-ERCP in patients with SAA through an updated systematic review and meta-analysis and to compare outcomes between short- and long-scope double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE).
methodsA comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science was performed for studies published up to March 2025 investigating DBE-ERCP in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy. A random-effects model was applied to conduct a meta-analysis of proportions. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the Joanna Briggs Institute Scale. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the inconsistency statistic (
resultsA total of 40 studies were included, comprising 10 cohort studies and 30 case series, including 2689 patients who underwent 3478 procedures. The surgical procedures were primarily classified into three categories: Roux-en-Y reconstruction (including hepaticojejunostomy, gastric bypass, and choledochojejunostomy,
conclusionDBE-ERCP demonstrates both safety and efficacy in patients with SAA. Compared to long-scope DBE, short-scope DBE shows greater clinical promise; however, further randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate these findings.
