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 Objectives: The antegrade procedure can be safely performed via an endosonography-created route (ESCR). Among the various types of surgically altered anatomy, antegrade procedures are frequently attempted in patients with Roux-en-Y (RY) anastomosis. For patients with RY anastomosis, EUS-guided hepaticojejunostomy (EUS-HJS) can be performed. However, evidence of the technical feasibility and safety of EUS-HJS is still limited, and there is no evidence of the time required for definitive formation of the ESCR after EUS-HJS. In the present study, we evaluated the time to formation of the ESCR after EUS-HJS for safely performing antegrade procedures. Method: Patients in whom EUS-HJS was attempted were eligible for study enrollment. The primary outcome of the present study was to evaluate the time to ESCR creation after EUS-HJS. This time was measured from the day of EUS-HJS to HJS stent removal. The technical success rates of EUS-HJS, HJS stent removal, the trans-ESCR procedure, and adverse events were secondarily evaluated. Results: A total of 42 patients were enrolled in the present study. The median interval prior to EUS-HJS stent removal was 10 days (range, 7-19 days). ESCR formation was confirmed in all patients who underwent EUS-HJS stent removal (100%, 42/42). The technical success rate of the subsequent trans-ESCR procedure was 95.2% (40/42). ESCR broken was not observed during procedures. Conclusions: In conclusion, sufficient formation of the ESCR for performing antegrade procedures might occur within 10 days after EUS-HJS in patients with RY anastomosis.
