Use of a Modified Transhepatic Rendezvous Technique for Stenting of Malignant Biliary Obstruction in 2 Cats.

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
We describe the successful treatment of biliary duct obstruction (BDO) secondary to biliary carcinoma involving the bile duct, cystic duct, and intrahepatic ducts in two adult domestic shorthair cats using a novel technique. Both cats presented with marked hyperbilirubinemia, increased liver enzyme activities, and ultrasonographic evidence of BDO secondary to neoplasia. One cat previously had undergone cholecystoduodenostomy, with recurrence of BDO. Both cats were treated using a transhepatic biliary rendezvous procedure, in which a hybrid interventional radiological approach was used to place a self-expanding metallic stent into the left intrahepatic duct, into the common bile or cystic duct, and into the duodenum, relieving the obstruction. In both cases, BDO resolved at time of last follow-up. This technique offers an alternative to traditional surgical or interventional options for biliary decompression, particularly in cases of diffuse malignant biliary obstruction where access to the common bile duct (CBD) is challenging.
