Palliative Percutaneous Biliary Interventions in Malignant High Bile Duct Obstruction.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The optimal palliative intervention for malignant biliary obstruction is internal drainage by placement of a metallic stent. For patients with hilar biliary obstruction or low bile duct obstruction in whom endoscopy is not feasible, a percutaneous transhepatic approach in interventional radiology is preferred. This article reviews the rationale for this approach, periprocedural management, and techniques to optimize stent patency.
