The Status of SEMS Versus Plastic Stents for Benign Biliary Strictures.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purpose of reviewBenign biliary strictures can be treated with plastic stents and self-expandable metal stents (SEMS). This review article delineates the latest scientific evidence for their usage. RECENT
findingsDespite evolving literature on both type of stents as treatment modalities of benign biliary strictures, which encompass mainly anastomotic strictures and strictures related to chronic pancreatitis, no final conclusions can be drawn regarding the superiority of a particular stent. SEMS tend to have higher stricture resolution rates and fewer procedural requirements which are partly offset by higher stent migration and stricture recurrence rates compared with plastic stents. Additional studies focusing on new SEMS types with anti-migration features as well as cost-effectiveness calculations are necessary for clinical decision-making when treating patients with benign biliary strictures.
