Title: Efficacy and safety of Endoscopic nasobiliary drainage versus percutaneous transhepatic
cholangial drainage in the treatment of advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma: a systematic review
and meta-analysis
Version: 6 Date: 27 Apr 2024
Reviewer:  Yang Liu
Reviewer's report:
As a meta-analysis article, this article is well written and the selected literature is convincing.
However, the article still needs to address some underlying logical issues. For example,
why choose the comparison between ENBD and PTCD instead of ERCP, please explain it
appropriately. In fact, during the surgical process of ENBD and ERCP, it is difficult for the
guide wire to pass through the site of the bile duct tumor. The guide wire that can pass through
the tumor will inevitably have friction with the tumor or even penetrate the tumor to drain bile,
which may lead to distant metastasis of the tumor in the future. Of course, this is not related
to this article, it is only mentioned briefly. In addition, some parts of this article are confusing,
such as lines 81-83, where bile should be excreted from the body rather than into. Lines 288 to
292, ENBD leads bile out of the body, so why is it internal drainage?
