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
Background and Purpose: The laparoscopic-endoscopic rendezvous procedure, which integrates laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), is an established therapeutic strategy for patients with cholelithiasis and concomitant choledocholithiasis. This study evaluated the impact of ureteral catheter-assisted antegrade guidewire intubation on the procedural success rate and duration of the rendezvous technique, with additional assessment of safety and clinical efficacy. Methods: Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed from patients with cholelithiasis and concomitant choledocholithiasis who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the South Campus of Taizhou Hospital (Enze Hospital), Zhejiang Province, between May 2019 and December 2022. A total of 116 patients were assigned to either a control group or an intervention group in which ureteral catheter-assisted guidewire insertion was employed. Results: The success rate of antegrade guidewire intubation was 98.3% in the intervention group, compared to 91.2% in the control group. The intervention group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in guidewire insertion time ( Conclusion: The use of ureteral catheter-assisted antegrade guidewire intubation during the laparoscopic-endoscopic rendezvous procedure appears to be a safe and clinically effective approach for managing cholelithiasis and concomitant choledocholithiasis. This technique is associated with a high success rate of guidewire realignment, reduced procedural duration, and a lower incidence of procedure-related complications.
