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
objectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of ERCP combined with single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC) for the management of common bile duct stones and transpapillary gallbladder polyps.
methodsIn this retrospective case series, we analyzed 10 patients with common bile duct (CBD) stones and gallbladder polyps who were treated with ERCP combined with SOC between May 2022 and September 2024. The technical and clinical success rates, polyp resection rate, methods of cystic duct cannulation, total procedure time, polyp resection time, and the complication rate were recorded and analyzed.
resultsBoth the technical success rate and the clinical success rate of SOC-guided gallbladder polyp removal were 100%. Among the 10 patients, gallbladder access was achieved using guidewire-assisted SOC in 3 patients and direct SOC entry into the cystic duct in 7 patients. The mean overall procedure time was 53.0 ± 14.2 min, and the mean polyp resection time was 20.80 ± 11.02 min. The diameter of the polyps ranged from 2 to 8 mm. Pathological examination revealed 5 inflammatory polyps, 1 adenomatous polyp, and 4 cholesterol polyps. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. During a follow-up period of 3 to 28 months, no recurrence of gallbladder polyps was observed.
conclusionTranspapillary gallbladder polyp resection using ERCP combined with SOC represents a minimally invasive technique that appears to be technically feasible and safe. This approach has the potential for broader clinical adoption.
