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

Pancreaticobiliary obstruction is a rare but life-threatening complication. Plastic biliary stents are a temporary utility to maintain the patency of the common bile ducts, typically lasting about four months. Biliary stents can rarely have complications, with the most common being migration through the gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of a patient with a plastic stent placed over five years, which was complicated by severe hematochezia due to the retention of the stent in a diverticulum. Given the increased risk of life-threatening complications post-stent life expectancy, there should be systems in place to prevent patients from being lost to follow-up.
