Bilioptysis as a Diagnostic Cornerstone for Occult Bronchobiliary Fistula.
Article in Open respiratory archives. 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
Bilioptysis is a rare clinical entity characterized by the expectoration of biliary secretions through the respiratory tract. Its presence is pathognomonic of a biliopulmonary or bronchobiliary fistula. We present the case of a 69-year-old man with a history of ileal carcinoid tumor with metastatic liver disease, who underwent hepatectomy and had a history of abdominal biliary collections. The patient was admitted for bibasal cavitary pneumonia associated with acute respiratory failure. During the clinical course, the patient developed bilioptysis, whose final diagnosis could be confirmed by imaging and bronchoscopic studies. The etiopathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and therapeutic options of this rare complication are discussed.
