Fatal refractory cholangitis following dual stent placement in an elderly patient with advanced ampullary carcinoma: a case report.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
An 89-year-old man with advanced ampullary carcinoma developed fatal cholangitis after sequentially placed biliary and duodenal stents. He presented with obstructive jaundice and underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with plastic biliary stent placement, leading to clinical improvement. He was readmitted for malignant duodenal obstruction and received a metallic duodenal stent. Post-procedure, he developed severe cholangitis caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Despite percutaneous transhepatic cholangiographic drainage (PTCD) and broad-spectrum antibiotics, the patient died of septic shock. This case highlights the lethal risk of life-threatening cholangitis in elderly patients with dual stents, emphasizing the need for a proactive prevention strategy, which is proposed in the discussion.
