Anesthetic management of a patient with acquired bronchobiliary fistula: a case report.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2026. 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
backgroundBronchobiliary Fistula (BBF), a rare abnormal connection between the biliary tract and bronchial tree, typically arises from hepatobiliary surgery, infection, or trauma. Perioperative anesthetic management presents substantial challenges due to risks of pulmonary aspiration, cross-contamination, and respiratory compromise. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old female with a history of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma resection developed cough, fever, and bilious sputum. Imaging confirmed BBF with bilateral pneumonia. She underwent re-exploration and fistula repair. Anesthetic management included: left-sided Double-Lumen Tube placed under bronchoscopic guidance for lung isolation; lung-protective ventilation (low tidal volume, Positive End-Expiratory Pressure, intermittent recruitment maneuvers); anti-inflammatory therapy; goal-directed fluid management; temperature preservation; invasive hemodynamic monitoring; and multidisciplinary coordination.
conclusionsSuccessful anesthetic management of BBF requires meticulous lung isolation to prevent contralateral lung contamination, individualized ventilation strategies to minimize lung injury, and comprehensive perioperative planning involving surgeons, intensivists, and anesthesiologists. This case highlights the importance of a structured, physiology-based approach in rare, high-risk clinical scenarios.
