Endoscopic Stents for the Biliary Tree and Pancreas.
Review in Current treatment options in gastroenterology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
opinion statementPURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the recently published literature on biliary and pancreatic stents. RECENT
findingsCovered self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are increasingly being used in the endoscopic management of benign biliary strictures. Given the costs associated with SEMS, plastic stents are still the most commonly used stents. In this setting, SEMS are preferred over plastic stents for palliation of malignant biliary strictures due to superior patency and have a role in preoperative management of malignant biliary strictures. While plastic stents are predominantly used for management of pancreatic strictures, newer endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided lumen-apposing SEMS have been increasingly used in management of pancreatic fluid collections. EUS-guided SEMS also enable safe transmural drainage of gall bladder and bile ducts in benign and malignant conditions. Endoscopic management is the first line treatment for multiple pancreatobiliary disorders. EUS-guided interventions have widened the scope of endoscopic management and decreased the need for surgical intervention. Further studies are needed to determine the safety and cost effectiveness of SEMS in benign pancreatic disorders.
