Endoscopic management of biliary strictures after living donor liver transplantation.
Review in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is an effective alternative to deceased liver transplantation (DDLT) for end-stage liver disease. Although advances in surgical techniques, immunosuppressive management, and post-transplant care have improved the overall outcomes of LDLT, biliary strictures remain the major unsolved problem. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is currently considered the first-line therapy for biliary strictures following LDLT with duct-to-duct reconstruction, with percutaneous and surgical interventions reserved for patients with unsuccessful management via ERCP. Endoscopic management of biliary strictures is technically more challenging in LDLT than in DDLT because of the complexity of the biliary anastomosis, in addition to the tortuous and angulated biliary system. Placement of one or more plastic stents after balloon dilation has been the standard strategy for post-LDLT stricture, but this requires multiple stent exchange to prevent stent occlusion until stricture resolution. Inside stents might prevent duodenobiliary reflux and thus have longer stent patency, obviating the need for multiple ERCPs. Newly developed covered self-expandable metallic stents with anti-migration systems are alternatives to the placement of multiple plastic stents. With the advent of deep enteroscopy, biliary strictures in LDLT patients with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy are now treatable endoscopically. In this review, we discuss the short- and long-term outcomes of endoscopic management of post-LDLT strictures as well as recent advances in this field.
