Obstructive jaundice with duodenal biliary fistula: diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, case report, and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: This case presents a 56-year-old male with obstructive jaundice, complicated by bile duct stones, bile duct dilation, and a possible biliary-enteric fistula. This case contributes to the literature by highlighting the complexities of managing obstructive jaundice in patients with complex surgical histories. Case summary: The patient, with a history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (2022), presented with upper abdominal pain, jaundice, and fever. Imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRCP) revealed intrahepatic bile duct dilation, pneumobilia, stones, and a biliary-enteric fistula. Initial ERCP attempted fistula dilation but was unsuccessful due to inflammatory fibrosis. Subsequent laparoscopic partial gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy resolved the obstruction. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with resolution of jaundice and scheduled six-month follow-up. Conclusion: This case highlights the critical role of multimodal imaging (MRCP/CT) in diagnosing rare biliary-enteric fistulas, particularly in patients with surgical histories. A multidisciplinary approach-combining endoscopic intervention and tailored laparoscopic surgery-proved effective for managing complex obstructive jaundice. Vigilant postoperative surveillance is essential to mitigate recurrence risks. Future studies should explore minimally invasive techniques for similar cases.
