Full-depth evaluation of the bile duct with a 7F cholangioscope and its possibility for guiding therapeutics.
Review in VideoGIE : an official video journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: Digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC) plays a critical role in directly visualizing and treating the bile duct system. Although various cholangioscopes with different external diameters are available for DSOC, certain challenging scenarios persist in which existing scopes fail to complete a thorough evaluation of the bile ducts. To overcome these limitations, we aimed to introduce and highlight the application of a novel 7F cholangioscope. Methods: In this review article we describe the novel 7F cholangioscope, provide its assembly and setup, and review cases in which the 7F cholangioscope was used for diagnostic and therapeutic guidance. Results: Four cases involving challenging biliary assessments were presented, all of which achieved technical and clinical success. No procedure-related adverse events were reported in any of these cases. Conclusions: The 7F cholangioscope can provide additional information regarding the biliary tree and guidance for treatment, overcoming the challenging assessment of small pancreatobiliary ducts and its strictures. Its potential use in cases of severe bile duct stenosis is recommended. However, further studies evaluating safety and efficacy are needed.
