New anti-reflux plastic stent to reduce the risk of stent-related cholangitis in the treatment of biliary strictures.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThere is little data available on the role of new anti-reflux plastic stents (ARPSs).
aimTo compare the use of ARPSs with that of traditional plastic stents (TPSs) for patients with biliary strictures.
methodsConsecutive patients with biliary strictures who underwent first endoscopic biliary stenting between February 2016 and May 2019 were included. The onset of stent-related cholangitis, stent patency, clinical success, and other adverse events were evaluated.
resultsSixty-seven patients in the ARPS group and 66 patients in the TPS group were included in the final analyses. Fewer patients experienced stent-related cholangitis in the ARPS group than that in the TPS group (8 patients
conclusionPlacement of new ARPS might be a safe and effective optional therapeutic strategy to reduce the risk of stent-related cholangitis and prolong stent patency.
