Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Gallbladder Drainage for Acute Cholecystitis in Billroth II Anatomy via Afferent Limb.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 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
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is an alternative treatment of acute cholecystitis, though there is limited literature on its use in surgically altered anatomy. A 64-year-old woman with gastric adenocarcinoma and Billroth II reconstruction presented with clinical signs and symptoms of acute cholecystitis, cholestatic liver function tests, and an hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scan supporting the diagnosis of acute calculous cholecystitis. She was deemed a nonsurgical candidate due to medical comorbidities; therefore, EUS-GBD was pursued. Our case highlights technical modifications to EUS-GBD to navigate challenges in Billroth II anatomy and supports the addition of this technique for high-risk surgical patients.
