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

backgroundBalloon-assisted enteroscopy with a specialized overtube has improved the success of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA). However, direct comparative data between double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) and single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) remain limited.

aimTo compare the ERCP-related outcomes between DBE and SBE in patients with SAA.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 1042 patients with SAA who underwent ERCP. After propensity score matching for age and sex, 494 patients were included, with 247 patients in each of the SBE and DBE groups.

resultsThe success rates of intubation, cannulation, completion of intended ERCP, and adverse events were similar between the DBE and SBE groups (94.3%

conclusionDBE and SBE showed comparable clinical success and safety profiles in ERCP for patients with SAA, although SBE required significantly longer procedure times. DBE could provide procedural efficiency benefits in cases where an extended procedure duration is expected. Furthermore, a preserved gastric anatomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction were identified as independent risk factors for intubation failure.
