Unclassifiable Congenital Biliary Dilatation With a Meandering Main Pancreatic Duct and Suspected Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) is a congenital disorder in which the bile ducts are locally or diffusely dilated and is specifically defined as a disorder associated with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM). PBM is a congenital anomaly in which the pancreatic and bile ducts merge anatomically outside the duodenal wall. Meandering main pancreatic duct (MMPD) is an anomaly in the shape of the main pancreatic duct (ventral pancreatic duct) in the pancreatic head region that forms an inverted Z-shape or loop shape. Herein, we present the case of a 30-year-old man who experienced intermittent right upper abdominal pain with an unclassifiable type of CBD, MMPD, suspected PBM, and chronic cholecystitis. Although the patient presented uncommon conditions, we analyzed the pathophysiology and speculated the cause of the symptoms. After laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the patient's symptoms were relieved. This is the first case report of the rare coexistence of an unclassifiable CBD, MMPD, and suspected PBM.
