Comparison of trans-gastric vs trans-enteric (trans-duodenal or trans-jejunal) endoscopic ultrasound guided gallbladder drainage using lumen apposing metal stents

Figure 1 PRISMA flow diagram. PRISMA flow diagram elucidating screening and selection studies for comparison of transduodenal/transjejunal vs transgastric approaches.

Figure 2 PRISMA flow diagram elucidating the screening and selection of studies for comparison or cautery-enhanced vs non-cautery enhanced approaches.

Figure 3 Forrest plot. A-C: Forrest plot illustrating the comparison of rate of adverse events (A), clinical success (B), and technical success (C) between transduodenal/transjejunal vs transgastric approaches including studies with patients in both arms only (method 1). TG vs TD/TJ: Transduodenal/transjejunal vs transgastric; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval.

Figure 4 Forrest plot. A and B: Forrest plot illustrating the comparison of parameters between cautery enhanced (hot) vs non-cautery enhanced (cold) approaches including with studies with patients in both arms only (method 1). AEs: Adverse events; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval.
