Spontaneously removed endobiliary J stent drainage after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundGiven the limitations and risks associated with current treatments for common bile duct (CBD) stones, the authors placed a spontaneously removed endobiliary J stent in the distal CBD to decompress the biliary tract and performed a primary closure of the CBD after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE).
methodsIn this study, 10 of 14 patients with a diagnosis of choledocholithiasis were successfully treated using LCBDE. After extraction of the CBD stones using a choledoscope, a J-shaped stent was placed into the distal CBD as an internal drainage. The J stent was fixed with a rapid absorbable suture at the choledochotomy, which was closed by primary suture.
resultsThe procedures for all 10 patients were successfully completed. No complications related to placement of the endobiliary J stents were observed postoperatively. None of the patients reported discomfort, and the J stents passed spontaneously 2 to 3 weeks after discharge.
conclusionSpontaneously removed endobiliary J-stent drainage is a safe and effective surgical technique that allows for straightforward postoperative management after LCBDE.
