Endoscopic mucosal resection of a bile duct polyp: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundBile duct polyps are difficult to diagnose and are usually excised by open abdominal surgery or snare polypectomy using choledochoscopy CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old woman was hospitalized following epigastric pain lasting a month. She had a 30-year history of cholelithiasis and had undergone cholecystectomy because of cholecystolithiasis, and had undergone cholangiolithotomy twice due to choledocholithiasis. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging showed a communication between the bile duct and duodenal bulb. Inside the communication, CT showed a high-density shadow which was a hypointense lesion in T2 weighted image. The lesion showed no enhancement in T1 weighted image contrast enhanced. Gastroscopy revealed an incarcerated bile duct stone in the anterior wall of the duodenal bulb, which was removed with a basket under gastroscopy. Thereafter, a choledochoduodenal fistula was revealed. Finally, a flat polyp was detected in the lower part of the common bile duct and was removed by endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) through the fistula. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of the removal of a bile duct polyp using EMR.
conclusionEMR is a safe, effective, and low-cost method for the resection of all bile duct polyps.
