Safety and efficacy of three-dimensional reconstruction technology-assisted percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage: A meta-analysis.
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
backgroundPercutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is one of the primary clinical treatment options for patients with obstructive jaundice. In recent years, PTBD assisted by three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technology has been widely implemented, but its advantages over traditional methods remains inconclusive. Thus, a discussion is warranted.
aimTo explore the safety and efficacy of 3D reconstruction technology-assisted PTBD.
methodsWe systematically searched the databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The search period extended from the establishment of each database to November, 2024. We screened the literature according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, assessed the quality of the studies, and extracted data. Meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.4.1 software.
resultsA total of 15 studies were included, involving 1434 patients. The results of the meta-analysis showed that compared with the traditional group, the overall post-operative complications rate in the 3D reconstruction technology group was significantly lower [odds ratio = 0.25; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.17-0.36,
conclusion3D reconstruction technology significantly improves the puncture success rate and safety of PTBD. However, it has no significant advantage in bile drainage effectiveness. Continued research is warranted to further explore its clinical value and optimize its application.
