The past, present, and future of endoscopic management for biliary strictures: technological innovations and stent advancements.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Biliary stricture can be induced by intrinsic narrowing and extrinsic compression, with the majority of cases being malignant. Clinically, distinguishing between benign and malignant biliary strictures remains a considerable challenge, and the ongoing disagreement over the optimal choice of biliary stents significantly influences treatment strategies and impacts patients' survival and prognosis. The utilization and advancement of endoscopic techniques have heightened the diagnostic sensitivity for biliary strictures. Concurrently, innovative technologies such as endoscopic ultrasound and magnetic compression anastomosis emerge as viable alternatives when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is not an option, providing fresh insights for the clinical management of these patients. Traditional plastic and metal stents, characterized by their complex application and limited scope, have been unable to fully satisfy clinical needs. The introduction of novel stent varieties has notably improved this scenario, marking a considerable progression towards precision medicine. However, the clinical validation of the diverse stent materials available is incomplete. Hence, a thorough discussion on the present state and evolving trends of biliary stents is warranted.
