Updates on Endoscopic Stenting for Unresectable Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
Malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO) can cause obstructive jaundice and/or cholangitis necessitating appropriate biliary drainage. Endoscopic biliary stenting is the first-choice treatment, especially in unresectable cases, owing to its minimally invasive nature and utility. However, the hilar region is complex because of the branching and curving of bile ducts, making strictures in this area more complicated. Therefore, MHBO stenting is challenging, and treatment strategies have yet to be established. Furthermore, recent advances in antitumor therapies have altered the background surrounding the development of stenting strategies. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and grasp the current evidence well and to accumulate additional evidence reflecting the current situation. This study reviews the current status, issues, and prospects of endoscopic stenting for MHBO, especially in unresectable cases.
