Innovation in the percutaneous management of benign hepaticojejunostomy stricture with multiple lithiasis using SpyGlass Discover and biodegradable stent: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
We report the case of a 51-year-old female with a history of iatrogenic bile duct injury treated with hepaticojejunostomy in 2013 and reconstruction in 2016. She developed recurrent anastomotic stricture and intrahepatic lithiasis, with multiple failed surgical and endoscopic attempts, for that reason a two-stage percutaneous approach was performed: initial transhepatic cholangiography, crossing the stricture area and placing an internal-external biliary catheter; followed by cholangioscopy through a mature tract using the Spyglass Discover system, electrohydraulic lithotripsy of intrahepatic stones, endoluminal balloon plasty, and placement of biodegradable stent fifteen days later. The patient achieved complete clearance of intrahepatic stones, stricture resolution, and normalization of liver biochemistry without early recurrence. This case highlights the feasibility and efficacy of a minimally invasive percutaneous strategy combining cholangioscopy, lithotripsy, and biodegradable stenting for complex benign hepaticojejunostomy strictures, even in nondilated bile ducts, avoiding the morbidity of open surgery.
