Essential Updates 2023/2024: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Biliary Tract Cancer.
Review in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for biliary tract cancer (BTC) has gained traction with advancements in laparoscopic and robotic techniques. However, its oncological impact remains uncertain. This review highlights key studies from 2023 and 2024 on MIS for BTC, including distal bile duct, hilar bile duct, gallbladder, and intrahepatic bile duct cancer. Although feasibility and safety are supported in experienced centers, long-term prognostic equivalence to open surgery remains debatable. Further studies are required to clarify surgical and oncological outcomes.
