The current diagnosis and treatment of benign biliary stricture.
Review in Surgery today, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02118493 (Endo-biliary Laser Excision of Biliary Stenoses), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 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.

Abstract
purposeAs laparoscopic cholecystectomy and liver transplantation (LT) have become more common, so has biliary stricture. Fortunately, endoscopic treatment has almost simultaneously been developed. This article reviews the recent reports concerning the management of benign biliary strictures (BBS).
methodsThe literature regarding the diagnosis and treatment of BBS is reviewed after an electronic search of PubMed from 1982 to 2009 was performed.
resultsDespite the existence of diagnostic tools including tumor markers, brush cytology, intraductal ultrasonography and other imaging modalities, differentiating BBS from malignant stricture remains challenging, as does differentiating IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis from other benign strictures. Endoscopic treatment with balloon dilation of the stricture and serial insertions of stents is the preferred initial treatment for BBS. However, the outcomes of endoscopic treatments for primary sclerosing cholangitis or chronic pancreatitis are poorer than those for post-surgical biliary stricture. When endoscopic treatments fail to repair complicated biliary strictures such as Bismuth types III, IV, and V, surgical repair is recommended. Among the non-anastomotic BBS, intrahepatic bilateral type strictures after LT may require repeat transplantation.
conclusionEarly referral to tertiary centers with an alliance among hepatobiliary surgeons, interventional radiologists, and endoscopists is necessary to assure optimal results.
