Endoscopic cystostomy and biliary sphincterotomy for choledochoceles: A pediatric case series.

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
Management of choledochoceles (type III choledochal cysts) in children varies. We highlight the potential role of endoscopic management of choledochoceles with cystostomy and biliary sphincterotomy through a series of three successfully treated pediatric patients aged 12-13 at our tertiary center. Patients presented with symptoms including abdominal pain and pancreatitis. Choledochoceles were identified by preprocedure imaging on magnetic resonance imaging, with sizes ranging between 7 and 15 mm in maximal diameter. Histology revealed two choledochoceles lined by biliary epithelium and one by intestinal epithelium. Clinical improvement was sustained at a 2-year follow-up, with radiographic resolution on repeat imaging and normal tumor markers. We conclude that endoscopic management of choledochoceles with cystostomy and biliary sphincterotomy is a therapeutic option in children and can lead to sustained resolution of associated symptoms. While there is some lifetime risk of malignancy with choledochal cysts, malignancy in choledochoceles is rare.
