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 (EUS)-directed transenteric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (EDEE) has become a valuable therapeutic option in patients with nongastric bypass anatomy requiring biliary access. However, adequate afferent loop access can be challenging. Our aim was to illustrate an alternative way of achieving small-bowel distention during EDEE in a patient with recurrent cholangitis due to strictures of both the left- and right-sided bilioenteric anastomosis. We used a temporary EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy to provide antegrade afferent loop access, facilitating on-demand saline instillation and small-bowel distention. Antegrade catheter-based saline instillation provided adequate afferent loop distention and stabilization for the creation of an enteroenteric anastomosis with a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS). This allowed for adequate through-the-LAMS endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and stricture management in nongastric bypass Roux-en-Y anatomy. We concluded that antegrade hepaticogastrostomy-assisted saline instillation might be useful in patients undergoing EDEE where classic approaches to afferent loop distention have failed.
