Stent placement can achieve same prognosis as endoscopic nasobiliary drainage in treatment of bile leakage after liver transplantation.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. 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
backgroundBoth stent placement and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) are commonly used for treating bile leakage following liver transplantation. However, little research has compared the advantages of both methods.
aimTo compare the prognosis of stent placement and ENBD in treating bile leakage following liver transplantation.
methodsWe retrospectively collected data for patients with bile leakage after liver transplantation in our center. The efficiency and prognosis were compared between the stent placement and ENBD groups.
resultsWe retrospectively collected data from 50 patients diagnosed with bile leakage within 1 month after liver transplantation. Forty patients underwent ENBD and nine received stent placement. Baseline patient characteristics, except white blood cell count, total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels, were comparable between the two groups. Additionally, there was no significant difference in the rates of reconveyance or postoperative biliary stricture.
conclusionStent placement and ENBD are recommended for treating bile leakage after liver transplantation, with similar efficacy and prognosis.
