Endoscopic Management of Lemmel Syndrome Complicated by Duodenal Diverticulitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Lemmel syndrome is a rare cause of biliary obstruction resulting from the extrinsic compression of the distal common bile duct by a periampullary duodenal diverticulum in the absence of choledocholithiasis or malignancy. We present the case of a 62-year-old male patient with a history of hepatic steatosis and a recent laparoscopic cholecystectomy who was admitted with right upper quadrant pain and jaundice. Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis, cholestatic liver enzyme elevation, and hyperbilirubinemia consistent with severe cholangitis. Imaging revealed biliary ductal dilation without calculi or mass, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography identified chronic inflammatory changes in the ampulla of Vater adjacent to a duodenal diverticulum. After performing a sphincterotomy and placing a biliary stent, the patient exhibited complete clinical and laboratory resolution. Histopathology confirmed chronic inflammatory changes of the periampullary mucosa. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography continues to be the gold standard for both diagnosis and treatment. Individualized management is essential, and endoscopic therapy offers excellent results in properly selected patients.
