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

backgroundGastric food retention during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can lead to complications such as aspiration and failed procedure. Liver transplant (LT) recipients are exposed to an increased risk of impaired gastrointestinal motility due to surgical alterations, immunosuppressive therapy, and post-transplant complications. Given the high frequency of ERCP in this population, our anecdotal experience suggests an increased incidence of gastric food retention at the time of the procedure.

aimTo evaluate the association between LT and gastric food retention observed at ERCP over a two-year period.

methodsThis retrospective study included all patients who underwent standard ERCP at our institution between 2022 and 2024. Data were collected on demographics, medical history including LT and procedural details.

resultsA total of 1100 patients underwent ERCP, including 238 LT recipients (22%). Gastric food retention was observed 17 patients (1.5%). The incidence was significantly higher in LT recipients compared to non-transplant patients (3.8%

conclusionLT recipients demonstrated over three-fold increased incidence of gastric food retention during ERCP. This should be considered in pre-procedural assessment and preparation in this patient population.
