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
introductionBiliary stenting with radioactive seed placement has become a frequently applied palliative intervention for patients with obstructive hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC). Despite its increasing use, evidence comparing unilateral and bilateral stenting with radioactive seed placement remains limited.
aimThis study aimed to compare clinical effectiveness and safety of unilateral and bilateral stenting with radioactive seed placement in patients with obstructive HC. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective review of consecutive patients treated with a stent with radioactive seed placement for obstructive HC between January 2022 and December 2024 was conducted. The patients were categorized into the unilateral or bilateral groups based on the stent placement approach. Technical success, clinical response, stent patency, overall survival, and complications were compared between the groups.
resultA total of 89 patients were analyzed, including 47 in the unilateral group and 42 in the bilateral group. Primary technical success was achieved in 91.5% and 95.2% of the patients, respectively (
conclusionBoth unilateral and bilateral stenting with radioactive seed placement provide equivalent safety and efficacy in the management of obstructive HC.
