The updated Asia-Pacific consensus statement on the role of endoscopic management in malignant hilar biliary obstruction.

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
The first Asia-Pacific consensus recommendations for endoscopic and interventional management of hilar cholangiocarcinoma were published in 2013. Since then, new evidence on the role of endoscopy for management of malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO) has emerged. To update the recommendation, we reviewed the literature using a PICO (population/intervention/comparison/outcomes) framework and created consensus statements. The expert panel voted anonymously using the modified Delphi method and all final statements were evaluated for the quality of evidence and strength of recommendation. The important points with inadequate supporting evidence were classified as key concepts. There were seven statements and five key concepts that reached consensus. The statements and key concepts dealt with multiple aspects of endoscopy-based management in MHBO starting from diagnosis, strategies and options for biliary drainage, management of recurrent biliary obstruction, management of cholecystitis after biliary stenting, and adjunctive treatment before stenting. Although the recommendations may assist physicians in planning the treatment for MHBO patients, they should not replace the decision of a multidisciplinary team in the management of individual patients.
