1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: Gallbladder drainage is used for patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) who are unsuitable for emergency cholecystectomy. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD), endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD), and endoscopic transpapillary GBD (ETGBD) are used as bridge-to-surgery (BTS) approaches, but comparative data are limited. We compared clinical and perioperative outcomes among these strategies. Methods: This retrospective, single-center study included 84 patients with AC who underwent GBD between January 2016 and January 2026 (PTGBD, Results: Technical success rates were 100% in the PTGBD and EUS-GBD groups and 73.7% in the ETGBD group ( Conclusions: All three approaches were feasible BTS strategies for AC. EUS-GBD achieved high technical and clinical success with acceptable safety. After successful BTS, surgical outcomes were broadly comparable among groups. Drainage strategy should be individualized based on patient conditions, anatomical feasibility, and circumstances.
