1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

An anastomotic stricture is a frequent adverse outcome in patients with a Roux-En-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The patient described in this article developed a complicated hepato-jejunal anastomotic stricture with intrahepatic stones that could not be treated with standard balloon enteroscopic interventions due to a very long Roux limb. Thus, a duodenojejunostomy was created to allow access to the stricture and manage the intrahepatic stones. In this case, we convened a multidisciplinary panel of radiologists, surgeons, and interventional endoscopists to consider various therapeutic approaches. The various options were discussed with the patient as part of patient-centered medical decision-making. This patient case highlights the evolving and expanding role of endoscopic ultrasound-directed transenteric interventions for obtaining durable luminal access in patients with altered foregut anatomy, thus providing another avenue for therapeutic interventions which avoid surgery and associated morbidity.
