1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In pediatric liver transplantation, bile duct complications occur with a greater incidence than vascular anastomotic dysfunction and represent a major source of morbidity and mortality. While surgical re-anastomosis can reduce the need for retransplantation, interventional radiology offers minimally invasive and graft-saving therapies. The combination of small patient size and prevailing Roux-en-Y biliary enteric anastomotic techniques makes endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography difficult if not impossible. Expertise in percutaneous management is therefore imperative. This article describes post-surgical anatomy, pathophysiology and noninvasive imaging of biliary complications. We review percutaneous techniques, focusing heavily on biliary access and interventions for reduced liver grafts. Subsequently we review the results and adverse events of these procedures and describe conditions that masquerade as biliary obstruction.
