1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Endoscopic retrieval of embedded, proximally migrated, or fractured plastic biliary stents may be technically challenging and sometimes unsuccessful. Percutaneous transhepatic techniques have previously been described to assist in such challenging cases. Here in, we describe a difficult case in which all commonly described endoscopic and percutaneous techniques failed to retrieve a proximally migrated, fractured, and looped plastic biliary stent. We finally successfully retrieved the plastic forceps after off-label utilization of rigid bronchial forceps via a percutaneous transhepatic approach. We describe the technique utilized in detail and this appears to be the first description of this off-label use in this challenging scenario.
