Routine Stent Placement in Endoscopic Management of Appendicitis: Necessity or Optional?
Article in Endoscopy international open, 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
The primary goal of stent placement during endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) is to ensure effective drainage and alleviate luminal obstruction. Placement of a stent within the appendiceal lumen as a therapeutic intervention has been demonstrated to significantly reduce the risk of disease recurrence. Despite this, the routine use of drainage stents remains a subject of debate, and no standardized guidelines currently exist to direct their application. Consequently, the decision to deploy a drainage stent often relies on the operator's clinical judgment. Within the context of ERAT for appendicitis, treatment can be stratified into three categories, each associated with distinct strategies regarding routine stent placement. This review synthesizes recent literature and offers a practical reference for clinicians considering stent deployment across these different scenarios.
