Double Common Bile Duct Associated With Choledochal Cyst: A Rare Developmental Anomaly.
Article in Cureus, 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
Duplication of the extrahepatic bile duct is a highly uncommon congenital variation of biliary anatomy and may occur in conjunction with other biliary or pancreatic abnormalities. We describe the case of a 3-year-old girl who presented with abdominal discomfort and vomiting. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) revealed a cystic lesion consistent with a choledochal cyst (CC). Intraoperatively, a double common bile duct (DCBD), an atypical anomaly characterized by duplication of the extrahepatic bile duct, was identified. Treatment involved unifying the duplicated ducts into a single channel, followed by a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy and cholecystectomy. The patient recovered well postoperatively and was advised to undergo long-term monitoring and follow-up due to potential late complications. This case highlights the importance of anticipating and recognizing rare biliary anomalies such as DCBD, as unawareness may increase the risk of intraoperative injury and underscores the need for lifelong surveillance.
