Benign inflammatory pseudotumour mimicking extrahepatic bile duct cholangiocarcinoma in an adult man presenting with painless obstructive jaundice.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Inflammatory pseudotumours (IPTs) of the biliary tract are extremely rare and heterogeneous by aetiology and clinical presentation. They might cause biliary obstruction and mimic cholangiocarcinomas and their final diagnosis is usually achieved only after surgical excision. The most characteristic feature of IPT is the presence of chronic inflammatory cell infiltrates with variable degree of proliferating fibrous tissue. IPTs have the potential for recurrence even after resection and if untreated they can grow causing a variety of symptoms due to compression of the surrounding structures and organs. Despite the significant improvement of modern imaging techniques, preoperative distinction between IPTs of the biliary system and malignancies is extremely difficult. Histological diagnosis poses a clinical challenge because sampling is often suboptimal. Although rare, IPTs should be in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with painless jaundice and no other clinical symptoms or signs characteristics of cholangiocarcinomas.
