Novel Use of a Soehendra Biliary Dilatation Catheter and Controlled Radial Expansion Balloon To Gain Access Through an Existing Duodenal Stent via Complex Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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 malignant type II duodenal stricture treated with an uncovered duodenal stent, later requiring endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for biliary obstruction. The ampulla was covered with a stent mesh. The procedure was performed through the meshed duodenal stent to access the bile duct. In our case, we used a Soehendra Biliary Dilatation Catheter (Cook Medical®, Limerick, Ireland) and controlled radial expansion (CRE) to facilitate the passage of a fully covered self-expandable metal stent through the mesh. This technique has not been previously described in the literature. It demonstrates the feasibility of accessing malignant strictures in palliated patients by the use of a CRE balloon and a Soehendra Biliary Dilatation Catheter to widen the uncovered duodenal stent mesh in complex ERCP cases.
