Management of an occluded biliary metallic stent.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
In patients with a malignant biliary obstruction who require biliary drainage, a self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) provides longer patency duration than a plastic stent (PS). Nevertheless, a stent occlusion by tumor ingrowth, tumor overgrowth and biliary sludge may develop. There are several methods to manage occluded SEMS. Endoscopic management is the preferred treatment, whereas percutaneous intervention is an alternative approach. Endoscopic treatment involves mechanical cleaning with a balloon and a second stent insertion as stent-in-stent with either PS or SEMS. Technical feasibility, patient survival and cost-effectiveness are important factors that determine the method of re-drainage and stent selection.
