Single-operator cholangioscopy in the diagnosis and treatment planning of hilar intraductal papillary neoplasia of the bile duct: a case report.

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
A 53-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and cholestasis with normal bilirubin. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography suggested a perihilar stricture but could not exclude left-duct extension, and initial multidisciplinary review deemed the case unresectable. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with peroral single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC) obtained biopsy specimens, but the stricture was not traversable; repeat multidisciplinary review pursued antegrade mapping. A left percutaneous transhepatic drain was placed; 11 days after percutaneous drain placement, antegrade percutaneous SOC (pSOC) mapped right duct involvement and confirmed left hepatic duct sparing, revising resectability. The patient underwent associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy followed by extended right hepatectomy. Pathology showed intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct with high-grade dysplasia and microscopically negative margins (R0); no adverse events occurred. Combined peroral and pSOC can enable curative surgery when imaging and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography are inconclusive.
