Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage for acute cholecystitis: Should the endoscopic option become the status quo?
Review in World journal of gastrointestinal pharmacology and therapeutics, 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
Acute cholecystitis is a common surgical condition characterised by inflammation of the gallbladder wall, commonly secondary to cystic duct or infundibulum obstruction. The disease can be complicated by infection secondary to translocation of bacteria from the bile duct resulting in significant patient morbidity and potential mortality. The gold standard of treatment is cholecystectomy, however endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) has emerged over the past two decades as a minimally invasive technique for gallbladder decompression in patients deemed to be high surgical risk candidates, with reduced surgical interventions, adverse events and unplanned hospital admissions compared to percutaneous gallbladder drainage. The aim of this review is to outline the procedural components of EUS-GBD, the clinical and technical outcomes, complications and future directions.
