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

Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) has been thought to be preferable regardless of the site of biliary strictures, e.g., distal or proximal strictures because PBD by endoscopy or interventional radiology decreases postoperative mortality and morbidity rates. However, recently, several studies have revealed that PBD strategy showed an increased mortality rate or a high frequency of surgical site infection. Herein, we reviewed reports in the literature regarding the current status of PBD and investigated the effects of PBD on patients with distal and proximal biliary obstructions due to potentially resectable pancreatobiliary cancers. Our summary demonstrated that there is as yet no optimal PBD method regardless of the distal and proximal biliary strictures because of the small sample size and the lack of better control groups in previous studies. Thus, prospective randomized studies with a large sample size are needed to establish the optimal mode of PBD and to evaluate the potential benefits of PBD in patients with both distal and proximal biliary obstructions.
