Totally percutaneous rendezvous technique for the treatment of complete biliary obstruction after liver transplant.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. 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
Biliary complications, including biliary stricture and obstruction, remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality after living donor liver transplantation. In these patients the biliary system may not be accessible by endoscopic approach due to Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy, and a percutaneous approach may be considered to avoid surgical interventions. When there is complete biliary obstruction, the conventional percutaneous approaches may not be successful to cross the hepaticojejunostomy anastomosis. In this study, a totally percutaneous rendezvous technique was used to create a neo-biliary-enteric tract using a trans-biliary Rosch-Uchida needle in a patient with complete biliary obstruction and Roux-en-Y anastomosis after a split liver transplant. A biodegradable stent was placed after recanalization with long-term patency on follow up.
