Treatment of giant choledochal cysts with combined surgery and percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage: A case report.
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 1 paper.
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
backgroundCholedochal cyst is a rare biliary tract disorder with five subtypes categorized based on the anatomical location of cystic dilatation. Type IV (which affects the intrahepatic and extrahepatic ducts) is the most common subtype in adults. Its clinical manifestations are diverse and the disease can potentially become malignant. Currently, the mainstay treatment is surgical excision which is used as a definitive treatment to prevent complications and avoid carcinogenesis. However, the surgical operation for giant choledochal cysts is technically challenging. CASE SUMMARY: Here, we present a case of a giant choledochal cyst in an 18-year-old female. The diagnosis of patient was confirmed through magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. The patient developed acute cholangitis, and was treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage to alleviate symptoms. The final treatment approach was cyst excision followed by Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy, which successfully achieved excellent postoperative recovery.
conclusionUltrasonography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography can effectively diagnose choledochal cysts. Combined percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage surgery for giant choledochal cysts is safe and effective.
