1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Recurrent cholangitis, intrahepatic stones and biliary and anastomotic strictures are common complications after Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The surgically altered anatomy makes management of these complications with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography technically difficult. We present a case of recurrent cholangitis in a 25-year-old woman with a prior hepaticojejunostomy. Intrahepatic stones, biliary strictures and hepaticojejunostomy strictures were treated using a combined percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and cholangioscopy approach over several interventions. Minimally invasive, multidisciplinary approach to the management of intrahepatic biliary calculi and stricture after hepaticojejunostomy can be considered in cases where traditional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography intervention is too technically difficult.
