Endoscopic-catheter-directed infusion of diluted (-)-noradrenaline for atypical hemobilia caused by liver abscess: A case report.

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
backgroundHemobilia occurs when there is a fistula between hepatic blood vessels and biliary radicles, and represents only a minority of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhages. Causes of hemobilia are varied, but liver abscess rarely causes hemobilia and only a few cases have been reported. Here, we present a case of atypical hemobilia caused by liver abscess that was successfully managed by endoscopic hepatobiliary intervention through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). CASE SUMMARY: A 54-year-old man presented to our emergency department with a history of right upper quadrant abdominal colic and repeated fever for 6 d. Abdominal sonography and enhanced computed tomography revealed that there was an abscess in the right anterior lobe of the liver. During hospitalization, the patient developed upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a duodenal ulcer bleeding that was treated with three metal clamps. However, the hemodynamics was still unstable. Hence, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed again and fresh blood was seen flowing from the ampulla of Vater. Selective angiography did not show any abnormality. An endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) tube was inserted into the right anterior bile duct through ERCP, and subsequently cold saline containing (-)-noradrenaline was infused into the bile duct lumen through the ENBD tube with no episode of further bleeding.
conclusionHemobilia should be considered in the development of liver abscess, and endoscopy is essential for diagnosis and management of some cases.
