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

This case report presents the percutaneous extraction of a biliary stent in a patient with a history of liver transplant and Whipple procedure, suffering from benign biliary stricture post hepaticojejunostomy. After failed management with conventional benign biliary protocol, a fully covered WallFlex biliary stent was percutaneously placed and later removed using a balloon catheter technique. The procedure demonstrated anastomosis patency without complications, providing a drain-free option for complex anatomy where endoscopic management was not feasible. This case contributes valuable insights to the limited literature on percutaneous stent removal for benign biliary strictures, emphasising the importance of considering alternative approaches in challenging clinical scenarios.
