Risk Factors for Peritonitis Associated With Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Hepaticogastrostomy.
Article in DEN open, 2027. 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
Background and Objectives: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) is an alternative therapeutic option for unsuccessful endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with malignant biliary obstruction. Procedure-related adverse events (AEs), such as bile leakage and peritonitis, can lead to prolonged hospitalization and delay the initiation of chemotherapy for underlying malignancies. This study aimed to identify factors associated with the development of peritonitis following EUS-HGS. Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent initial EUS-HGS between July 2016 and November 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. We assessed the preprocedural characteristics (cholangitis and duodenal invasion) and intraprocedural technical factors (small bile duct diameter, short hepatic parenchymal distance at puncture, antegrade stenting, and the use of a plastic stent for HGS). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the factors associated with peritonitis after EUS-HGS. Results: A total of 188 patients were included. The cause of biliary obstruction was malignancy in 96% of the cases, with the majority being pancreatic cancer. The rate of early AEs was 15% and included peritonitis (7%), pancreatitis (3%), cholangitis (3%), cholecystitis (1%), and bleeding (1%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that the diameter of a punctured bile duct ≤3 mm (odds ratio, 4.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-15; Conclusions: A punctured bile duct diameter of ≤3 mm was identified as a significant independent risk factor for the development of peritonitis after EUS-HGS.
