Bilothorax: A Rare Complication of Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage in a Patient With Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bilothorax is a rare etiology of pleural effusions that involves leakage of bile from the biliary system into the pleural cavity. Most cases result from iatrogenic mechanisms, like endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. However, only a limited number of cases have reported this as a complication of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. We report this rare presentation in an elderly man with primary sclerosing cholangitis after receiving percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage for decompression of multiple complex biliary obstructions. Given its rarity and lack of established guidelines, we review clinical features, medical management, and potential implications of bilothorax, especially in patients with chronic liver disease and cirrhosis.
