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

backgroundBenign biliary diseases comprise entities, which present with very similar pathognomonic symptoms despite fundamental etiological differences. Obstructions of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts due to stones, tumors or parasites as well as stenoses and cystic alterations belong to the group of benign biliary diseases.

objectiveThis article provides a systematic overview of the indications and differential treatment of benign biliary diseases with special emphasis on the surgical treatment. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe presented recommendations are in accordance with national and international guidelines, current scientific papers and expert opinions.

resultsEssentially the surgical options for benign biliary diseases consist of revision, reconstruction through bilioenteric anastomosis, resection and complete organ replacement in the sense of liver transplantation. The location of the affected segment of the biliary tree, the symptoms, the progress of the disease and suspected malignancy essentially determine the level of escalation in the described treatment level scheme.

conclusionThe treatment of benign biliary diseases is complex and requires achievement of unimpaired, unobstructed bile drainage. It serves the purpose of resolving cholestasis and thereby avoiding recurrent cholangitis and long-term complications, such as biliary cirrhosis and malignant transformation; however, in some cases of premalignant lesions of the bile ducts the strategy resembles cancer surgery, including resection of the affected tissue.
