Percutaneous treatment of benign bilioenteric anastomotic strictures: temporary covered stent placement versus balloon dilatation.
Article in European radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectivesTo compare percutaneous temporary covered stent placement with balloon dilatation in the treatment of benign stricture of bilioenteric anastomosis.
methodsFrom November 2004 to August 2017, 56 patients with benign bilioenteric anastomotic strictures underwent percutaneous transhepatic treatment. A temporary covered stent designed for spontaneous migration was placed in 23 patients (stent group). Balloon dilatation was performed in 33 patients (balloon group). The technical success, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) indwelling times, stent indwelling times and patency rates were retrospectively compared between the two groups.
resultsTechnical success was achieved in all patients in the stent group and in 96.8% (32/33) of patients in the balloon group. All stents spontaneously migrated into the jejunum, and stent indwelling times were 3-9 months (median, 6 months). The PTBD indwelling time was shorter for the stent group than for the balloon group (median, 7 vs. 71 days, p = 0.001). Recurrent strictures occurred more frequently in the balloon group than in the stent group (54.5% vs. 13.0%, p = 0.002; hazard ratio 3.7). The 1- and 3-year primary patency rates were 90.2% and 84.9% for the stent group and 75.1% and 52.8% for the balloon group, respectively (p = 0.04).
conclusionsPercutaneous temporary covered stenting is an effective treatment in patients with benign bilioenteric anastomotic strictures. It provides longer patency and shorter PTBD indwelling time compared with balloon dilatation. KEY POINTS: • A temporary covered stent designed for spontaneous migration is a feasible and effective treatment for patients with benign bilioenteric anastomotic strictures. • Percutaneous temporary covered stents provide longer patency and shorter drainage catheter indwelling time compared with conventional balloon dilatation. • A covered stent with flared ends spontaneously migrated after 3-9 months.
