Phenobarbital Treatment for Prolonged Cholestatic Jaundice After Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography.

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
Prolonged cholestatic jaundice after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a rare and clinically challenging condition when mechanical obstruction is excluded. While its pathophysiology remains unclear and no established treatment strategy exists, we describe a patient with persistent post-ERCP cholestasis whose hyperbilirubinemia improved markedly after initiation of phenobarbital. The total bilirubin level decreased from a peak of 29.8 mg/dL to 23.9 mg/dL within 5 days and continued to decline thereafter. This suggests that phenobarbital could be a potential therapeutic option for prolonged post-ERCP cholestasis when conventional treatments, such as ursodeoxycholic acid and herbal medicine, are ineffective.
