Outcomes of Different Guidewire-Assisted Techniques for Recurrent Malignant Biliary Obstruction After Uncovered Metallic Stent Placement.
Article in Journal of digestive diseases. 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
objectivesWe aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of the bent guidewire insertion (BGI) technique and the conventional straight guidewire insertion (SGI) technique for managing recurrent malignant biliary obstruction (RMBO) after initial uncovered metallic stent (UMS) placement.
methodsNinety patients who underwent endoscopic intervention for RMBO after UMS placement were retrospectively included. Clinical outcomes and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related factors were compared between the SGI and BGI groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the independent risk factors associated with difficult cannulation.
resultsThere were 43 and 47 patients who underwent the SGI and BGI techniques, respectively, for intervention of RMBO. The SGI group had significantly higher rates of difficult cannulation (48.8% vs. 19.1%, p = 0.006) and guidewire insertion technique transformation (44.2% vs. 4.3%, p < 0.001). Additionally, procedure time (49.7 min ± 23.4 min vs. 34.7 min ± 20.5 min, p = 0.002) and cannulation time (5.0 min vs. 4.0 min, p = 0.005) were longer in the SGI group. Technical and clinical success rates, procedure-related complications, and length of hospitalization were comparable between the two groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that SGI (odds ratio [OR] 4.682, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.643-13.340, p = 0.004) and hilar biliary tract lesions (OR 3.673, 95% CI 1.236-10.915, p = 0.019) were identified as independent factors for difficult biliary cannulation.
conclusionBGI technique may be superior to SGI approach for re-intervention in patients with RMBO after initial UMS placement.
