Migration of a Nasopharyngeal Airway Into the Gastrointestinal Tract During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Rare Complication in Obstructive Jaundice Management.

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: Obstructive jaundice often requires endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnosis and management. Airway management during sedation in ERCP poses unique challenges, though device-related complications are rarely reported. Case Presentation: A 35-year-old male with obstructive jaundice due to distal common bile duct stenosis underwent ERCP under sedation with propofol and oxycodone. A 16Fr silicone nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) was inserted due to mild upper airway obstruction. During the prolonged procedure (185 min), the NPA migrated unnoticed into the stomach, where it was discovered upon endoscope withdrawal and successfully retrieved using rat-tooth forceps. Intervention: The NPA was removed without mucosal injury, and a biliary metal stent was deployed uneventfully. Outcome: The patient recovered without gastrointestinal or pulmonary complications, with normalized bilirubin levels at 1-month follow-up. Conclusion: This first reported case of NPA migration into the gastrointestinal tract during ERCP highlights the need for improved fixation, monitoring, and awareness of airway devices during prolonged endoscopic procedures.
