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

A thorough understanding of normal biliary anatomy, common variants, and surgically altered anatomy is essential for the success of biliary interventions. Variations in biliary anatomy are seen in up to 40% of patients and frequently influence procedural planning and outcomes. This review highlights classical biliary anatomy, its common variations, and the challenges posed by surgical modifications, such as those encountered after cholecystectomy, liver resection, or biliary reconstructions. Case-based examples are used to explore the implications of these variations and modifications on interventional approaches, including the management of bile leaks, strictures, and complex obstructions. Strategies incorporating advanced imaging and procedural techniques, such as rendezvous interventions, are discussed to address complications and optimize outcomes. This article provides a practical framework for interventional radiologists to navigate challenging biliary cases with confidence and precision.
