Laparoscopic Repair of Iatrogenic Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-Induced Duodenal Bulb Perforation in an Elderly Patient With Concomitant Type IV Hiatal Hernia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Duodenal perforation is a rare but serious complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), particularly when anatomical distortions, such as large hiatal hernias, complicate endoscopic access. This case describes a 93-year-old patient with a type IV hiatal hernia who suffered an iatrogenic duodenal injury during a procedure for acute cholangitis. Due to the size of the defect and the patient's complex anatomy, an emergent laparoscopic repair was performed to reduce the hernia and repair the perforation. The patient's successful recovery highlights that prompt recognition and minimally invasive surgical intervention can be safe and effective, even in geriatric populations where anatomical challenges such as large hiatal hernias increase procedural risk.
