Long-term outcomes of post-transplant biliary anastomotic strictures: Endoscopic therapy with plastic and metal stents.

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
backgroundBiliary anastomotic stricture (BAS) occurs in approximately 14%-20% of patients post-orthotopic liver transplantation (post-OLT). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using multiple plastic stents (MPSs) or fully covered self-expandable metal stents (cSEMSs) represent the standard treatment for BAS post-OLT. Recently, cSEMSs have emerged as the primary option for managing BAS post-OLT.
aimTo compare the resolution and recurrence of BAS rates in these patients.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted in a single tertiary care center (Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, São Paulo, Brazil). We reported the results of endoscopic therapy in patients with post-OLT BAS between 2012 and 2022. Patients were stratified into two groups according to therapy: (1) MPSs; and (2) cSEMSs. Primary endpoints were to compare stricture resolution and recurrence among the groups. The secondary endpoint was to identify predictive factors for stricture recurrence.
resultsA total of 104 patients were included. Overall stricture resolution was 101/104 (97.1%). Stricture resolution was achieved in 83/84 patients (99%) in the cSEMS group and 18/20 patients (90%) in the MPS group (
conclusioncSEMSs and MPSs were effective and comparable regarding BAS post-OLT resolution and recurrence. The number of ERCP procedures and complications were predictors of stricture recurrence.
