Surgical Challenges Posed by Anomalous Biliary Tree Anatomy in Choledochal Cyst Excision: A Case Report.
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
A choledochal cyst (CC) usually presents with abdominal pain, jaundice, and a palpable abdominal mass. CC usually results in complications like cystolithiasis, choledocholithiasis, pancreatitis, liver cirrhosis, and intracystic stones, which are particularly more common in Type 4 CC. Here we present a rare case of Type 4a and Type 6 CC in a 21-year-old female patient who presented to us with complaints of acute onset of jaundice and pain in the abdomen. She was evaluated preoperatively with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography (MRCP) and subsequently planned for excision of the cyst with hepaticojejunostomy as a definite mode of management. Intraoperative findings required a double bilioenteric anastomosis. This case emphasizes that in spite of preoperative imaging and radio-diagnosis, the intraoperative findings may differ. Hence, a surgeon should be mentally prepared to do intraoperative biliary tree exploration and modify the treatment plan accordingly.
