Endoscopic Ultrasound-Directed Transgastric Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (EDGE): Techniques, Outcomes and Safety Profiles.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are a significant challenge for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) due to the altered anatomy. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) has emerged as a valuable alternative to standard methods like enteroscopy-assisted (EA-ERCP) and laparoscopy-assisted (LA-ERCP) ERCP. EDGE involves creating a temporary fistula between the gastric pouch and the excluded stomach under EUS guidance, typically using a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS). This allows a standard ERCP scope to access the second duodenum and the biliary tree with standard devices. Several studies have investigated the efficacy and safety of this approach, with variations in techniques such as suturing the LAMS to prevent migration. EDGE has demonstrated high technical success rates, and current evidence indicates that it can be performed safely, with acceptable rates of adverse events such as stent migration, bleeding, and perforation, making it the preferred option in referral centers. This comprehensive review aims to provide a concise evaluation of EDGE, its techniques, outcomes, and role in managing biliary and pancreatic disorders in RYGB patients.
