Successful Management of Recurrent Cholecystitis Four Years After Endoscopic Gallbladder Stenting (EGBS) Placement Using Internal and External Fistula Drainage.

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
Recurrent cholecystitis can occur even after permanent endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS), and optimal management in such situations remains challenging. In the present case, endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETGBD) was successfully achieved by using the indwelling EGBS to facilitate guidewire access to the gallbladder. Endoscopic nasobiliary gallbladder drainage was also placed, enabling combined internal and external drainage. The patient experienced a favorable clinical course following this approach. This case suggests that ETGBD is a feasible therapeutic option for recurrent cholecystitis after permanent EGBS placement, with the pre-existing stent aiding in gallbladder cannulation. Combined drainage may be particularly advantageous in the setting of purulent bile to ensure effective decompression.
