Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Detection of a Rare Anomaly-Duplication of Extrahepatic Bile Duct.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 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
This is the first reported case demonstrating endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) findings in type Va duplication. The malformation of the congenital extrahepatic bile duct is classified as type Va and is rarely observed. To date, not more than 30 cases have been reported in Western literature. For the medical literature, a 50-year-old man with a type Va extrahepatic bile duct obstruction is examined. He presented with abdominal pain and jaundice, and imaging showed biliary dilatation and cholelithiasis. During the EUS procedure, an endoscopic examination revealed the presence of a duplicated common bile duct with a septum. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography of the biliary tract also showed the same anomaly, with the presence of obstructive biliary sludge. The case highlights the need to consider EUS as a potent alternative diagnostic method. It is important to detect these anomalies immediately to reduce the chances of endoscopic/surgical complications.
