Efficacy of modified pancreatic duct stent drainage during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for common bile duct stones.

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
backgroundCommon bile duct stones pose a high risk of recurrence or disease progression if not promptly treated. However, there is still no optimal treatment approach.
aimTo investigate the clinical efficacy of modified pancreatic duct stent drainage in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for treating common bile duct stones.
methodsThis retrospective study included 175 patients with common bile duct stones treated at Taizhou Fourth People's Hospital between January 1, 2021, and November 30, 2023. The patients were divided into three groups-the modified pancreatic duct stent drainage group (59 cases), the nasobiliary drainage group (58 cases), and the standard biliary drainage group (58 cases). Preoperative general clinical data, laboratory indicators, and the visual analog scale (VAS) at two time points (24 hours before and after surgery) were compared, along with postoperative complications across the three groups.
resultsSerum levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, C-reactive protein, and amylase were significantly lower in the modified pancreatic duct stent drainage group and the standard biliary drainage group than those in the nasobiliary drainage group (
conclusionCompared to standard biliary drainage and nasobiliary drainage, the modified pancreatic duct stent used during ERCP for patients with bile duct stones significantly reduced hepatocyte injury, improved liver function parameters, alleviated inflammation and pain, enhanced patient comfort, and demonstrated superior safety.
