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

We herein report a case of lymphoid hyperplasia of the gallbladder that showed unique images on computed tomography and ultrasonography. A 42-year-old female was referred to our hospital for evaluation and treatment of a gallbladder tumor. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a mass in the wall of the gallbladder neck, without typical findings of benign or malignant tumors. The serum levels of tumor markers, such as carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9, alpha-fetoprotein, and cytokeratin 19 fragment, were all within normal limits. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was therefore performed. There were no stones in the gallbladder. Macroscopically, the submural tumor had a clear border without a capsule and a cystic portion. Its cut surface was grayish white. Microscopically, many lymph follicles with germinal centers were recognized in the subserosal layer. The lymphocytes were morphologically normal. We diagnosed lymphoid hyperplasia with chronic cholecystitis. Lymphoid hyperplasia of the gallbladder is extremely rare.
