Benign Biliary Strictures.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Differentiating benign and malignant biliary strictures is a challenging and important clinical scenario. The typical presentation is indolent and involves elevation of liver enzymes, constitutional symptoms, and obstructive jaundice with or without superimposed or recurrent cholangitis. While overall the most common causes of biliary strictures are malignant, including cholangiocarcinoma and pancreatic adenocarcinoma, benign strictures encompass a wide spectrum of etiologies including iatrogenic, autoimmune, infectious, inflammatory, and congenital. Imaging plays a crucial role in evaluating strictures, characterizing their extent, and providing clues to the ultimate source of biliary obstruction. While ultrasound is a good screening tool for biliary ductal dilatation, it is limited by a poor negative predictive value. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography is more than 95% sensitive and specific for detecting biliary strictures with the benefit of precise anatomic localization. Other commonly employed imaging modalities include endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with endoscopic ultrasound, contrast-enhanced CT, and cholangiography. First-line treatment of benign biliary strictures is endoscopic dilation and stenting. In patients with anatomy that precludes endoscopic cannulation, percutaneous biliary drain insertion and balloon dilation is preferred.
