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

Several conditions may cause benign biliary stricture formation. Intraoperative bile duct injury, most often sustained during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is the leading cause. Although surgical bypass procedure was the traditional treatment of choice for benign extrahepatic biliary strictures, therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography has recently come into favor; however, success rates have been variable and largely dependent on the underlying etiology. Because endoscopic therapy may be unsuccessful, a multidisciplinary approach to management, with surgical or radiological intervention if necessary, should be considered.
