Long-Term Outcomes of Congenital Biliary Dilatation Surgery: A Single-Center Study Highlighting the High Incidence of Complications Within 5 Years.

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
backgroundCongenital biliary dilatation (CBD) is a rare anomaly often treated surgically, yet postoperative complications remain a concern. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, timing, and risk factors of such complications after CBD surgery.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted on 184 patients with CBD who underwent either open or laparoscopic surgery, with a mean follow-up of 9 years. The analysis focused on postoperative complications, including bile duct-related issues, pancreatic complications, and bowel obstruction.
resultsComplications occurred in 14.7% of patients, predominantly bile duct-related (11.4%), followed by pancreatic (1.6%) and bowel obstruction (1.6%). Most bile duct complications, including anastomotic and intrahepatic strictures, emerged within 5 years postoperatively. Residual bile ducts were more common after open surgery, but no significant difference in other complications was observed between surgical approaches. No biliary malignancies developed during follow-up.
conclusionThe majority of complications occurred within 5 years after surgery, underscoring the importance of intensive monitoring during this period. Regular imaging and blood tests are essential for early detection. Although no malignancies were observed, long-term follow-up remains critical to address late-onset risks.
